Mage, a make replacement, releases 1.9

Note that this is not really replacement for most Makefiles - it does not do dependency tracking, parallel building, integrated rules, or any bulding at all.

This is a wrapper for go files which allows you call functions easier. With it, one can type “mage Something” instead of “go run Something.go”.

> makefiles are essentially fancy bash scripts with significant white space and additional make-related syntax.

Make is a functional programming language. For example, variables are actually lambdas.
