Tup - an insanely fast build system

• mooism2 14y ago
  That page is full of meaningless marketing fluff. In a typical build system, the dependency arrows go down. ... In tup, the arrows go up. This is obviously true because it rhymes. ... This makes it very fast. You've changed your notation and this magically makes your program work faster? Don't insult me.

    Come on. That's not "marketing stuff", that's humor. The arrow changes because tup monitors source directories as opposed to querying the timestamps of the files.

      Great! Why couldn't they say that up front instead of making it seem like magical thinking? It's not very good humour, because it made me feel like they thought I was an idiot, instead of making me smile.
