Couldn't you have achieved this even more simply by using make with a go shell?

Btw, from the linked page:

> Makefiles are hard to read and hard to write. Mostly because makefiles are essentially fancy bash scripts with significant white space and additional make-related syntax.

Wait what? What does bash have to do with anything? Mage may well be amazing, but it doesn't sound like this person knows make that well at all. Which makes me think they're simply trying to reinvent the wheel -- in 'go'.
