GNU make is confusing as hell and shouldn't be used in today's world.
I agree, yet I also see no good universal alternative. Every language has a nice tool to do things in it's ecosystem, but the moment you need to coordinate two languages or go beyond simple stuff, make is the only good option.
Yep. And honestly most language specific versions of make still have glaring missing features. Which doesn't matter, until when it really matters.
I want to embrace a make replacement, but if the pattern holds, they will be prying make out of my cold dead hands to make me presentable for my funeral.
