I’ve been wanting something like this but there’s a few big things that stick out to me. Why is it configured via json instead of scripting? Declarative task/build tools are just not as nice as something where you can write code. Specifying a task input/output seems very limited and is where so much optimization comes from. The remote cache seems to only be available through some hosted service?

I use Gradle a lot (bazel a little) and would love a tool that’s got an api that’s easier to understand, but this seems like 100 steps backwards without a good path forward.
