A simple and flexible build tool using Lua, similar to make/mk.
Makefiles also support this: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Rule-Syntax.html `targets : attributes : prerequisites ; recipe`

Like :=, this is just syntactic sugar to make makefile writers more comfortable ```LUA -- declare string local flags = '-Wall' -- declare table local src = {} -- when...
Makefiles also support this: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Reference.html `$(foo)` `${foo}` This is useful because i often copy&paste snippets of makefiles into sh and sh does not support `$(foo)`.
I just notice the color output are disabled on error when using `--style progress` while `basic` and `steps` works just fine. ```rs // number.rs extern "C" { static mut offset:...

Would make it easier to install to try it out for the folks who use Homebrew (such as myself). (`eget` downloads to current directory or to a manually-specified path, &...
