grunt uses a JSON file Actually grunt uses a javascript file you can drop node code into (not a stupid DSL, an actual programming language no less). I'd rather rewrite a 4-LOC shell script in my new project... Anyway, if you want to throw away your precious developer hours writing yourself a new makefile build system for every project and throw away the nice principles of code reuse, you can. ...just maybe don't tell who ever is paying you that you're doing it that way. (or wait, you can reuse code with make can't you? It's called autoconf or something like that...)
