Re-implement a new front-end for `make` in Python #21

Closed vkottler closed 2 years ago

vkottler commented 2 years ago

It's not worth trying to re-write all of the makefiles to be cross-platform
python is the correct level of abstraction to write platform-independent command front-ends and do basic file I/O

We could do something simple like JSON/YAML and just make a schema for a rule. Make is kind of garbage anyway.

We probably should use or formally re-implement some of datazen's

This is not really a good idea. GNU Make is a huge project with vastly complex behaviors. If a platform doesn't have make, we should just add new recipes for things using another backend (like native Python)
