@hipsterelectron cargo
at least it's not cmake
[morpheus.jpg] what if i told you
you could build an extensible task system
outside the build system
the reason i'm thinking about this is because:
(1) this is also the exact thing that pip needs for parallel cacheable package finding
(2) the one thing i was always annoyed about from pants (and had spent quite some time attempting to fix) was how it stuffed like 300 separate individual great ideas into the single monolithic cli
especially pants demonstrates a very powerful request-response model with a cyclic task dependency graph. as pants grew bigger and added more functionality, the reliance on a persistent daemon became self-reinforcing
