This is fantastic, but I'd say that this solution is somewhat in response to this open issue from 2019:
https://github.com/casey/just/issues/429
I really wish just was included as a package in distributions.
makesure, a similar tool (https://maximullaris.com/makesure-vs-just.html) I'm developing, doesn't require installation in the traditional sense: https://github.com/xonixx/makesure#installation.
Also, I was considering adding the same feature (generating the equivalent shell script) to my tool, but after doing some analysis decided not to pursue this idea for the following reasons: https://github.com/xonixx/makesure/issues/83#issuecomment-98....

simonw got me interested in the idea after I ran into one of his blogposts talking about how ziglang does it, and then studying ruff + maturin helped me reverse engineer how to accomplish this without any python intermediary in a "python package".
I put together a cruft template (https://github.com/justin-yan/templates-cruft/tree/main/pack...) since I'm packaging a couple projects this way (just, lazydocker). It's honestly a pretty messy weekend project, so caveat emptor, but hopefully it's a helpful starting point if you want to try it.
I can offer this (warning, crufty real-world scripts ahead!): these [make](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/blob/137d825/Makefil...) [files](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/blob/137d825/Makefil...) and this [bash script](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/blob/a3c300b/bake) have been replaced by this roughly equivalent [Justfile](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/blob/137d825/Justfil...) (some old things were commented out, some new things were added).
I'm only a few weeks in, and just has its own learning curve, but I'm very pleased overall. Cognitive load is down, usability is up, robustness is up.
