Oh wow, I didn't tried it yet, but reading the doc, it looks exactly how I imagine the perfect "make"/"task runner" should work.
"make" frustrated me so many times. I'll definitely try "task".

Although I don't think this tool is perfect, I created Task exactly due my frustration with Make and the lack of decent alternatives.
Let me know if you any feedback after you try it.
So I was curious to know why and I tried to clone the project to debug it, and could not figure out how to setup the dependencies properly.
You should add a section how to contribute/develop.
I'm curious on why Make runs twice faster to you, since in most cases the difference should be negligible (i.e. the Task overhead should be insignificant compared to the time it takes to run the command).
Maybe you're running really lightweight, like `cp`? Otherwise I'd consider it a bug. Could you open an issue, then?
If you're open to ruby, rake is an awesome and powerful tool that is a ruby DSL implementation of make. Learning rake was one of the best investments I made. Even tho I'm a polyglot these days, I still often use rake, even tho it does make some golang people vomit :-)
LOL.
I love both Go and Ruby. Each of them shines on different scenarios.
