   The home of the CUE language! Validate and define text-based and dynamic configuration

   

   Yes. I said it in another comment as well, but I'm rooting for a solid non turing complete conf language like CUElang (https://cuelang.org) to become popular. For now we can already use it to check and generate regular JSON or YAML, which is a good compat story.

   But imagine having this in CI instead of YAML files.

   🤖 Just a command runner

   

   How does this compare with `just`[0]? I've never written a Makefile but I'm a big fan of `just`.

   Containerize your development and continuous integration environments. 🥂 (by stepchowfun)

   

   This looks a lot like Toast [1], except that Toast runs your tasks in a (more) reproducible containerized environment to help eliminate the "works on my machine" problem.

   Taskfile is great! I used it to write a NixOS deployment tool [1] which I have been using ever since

8. Rake

   7 18 2,363 7.8 Ruby

   A make-like build utility for Ruby.

   

   Rake[0] is still the best ‘make-like’ build tool I’ve used for general purpose stuff. The syntax is nice and it’s just Ruby which is a delight. I briefly used Mage (similar, but Go) and it was fine too.
