I'm not worried about matching the build script language to the project language.
I am worried when I have to install a full dependency graph to run your build scripts...that's where things become brittle and annoying.
Python with Typer[0] and Plumbum[1] is great for quickly cranking out ergonomic build scripts, or Invoke[3] which is intended for exactly this purpose.

How to Accomplish: Design your scripts to accept command-line arguments or read from configuration files for all variable parameters, such as learning rates, batch sizes, and paths to datasets. Libraries like Click, Fire, and Typer make it easy to implement CLI-based configurations, while configuration file parsers (e.g., JSON, YAML) allow for more complex setups.

Project mention: SQLiteStudio: Create, edit, browse SQLite databases | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-24
One day I set out to resolve this, though I can not find in my notes' files what the solution was (for MySQL). It might have been to simply use MyCLI instead of the standard MySQL CLI. Have you tried it?

PathPicker
PathPicker accepts a wide range of input -- output from git commands, grep results, searches -- pretty much anything. After parsing the input, PathPicker presents you with a nice UI to select which files you're interested in. After that you can open them in your favorite editor or execute arbitrary commands.

And with Zsh suffixes you can even drop the pipe.
