Nit: At this point you're better off starting a separate comment thread since you yourself already know that what you are about to talk about is not what my comment is talking about.
Nit: You mentioned it can be used "everywhere". That would be a useful feature! But while it's kinda true, there's some quite big limitations IMO
From the docs
set windows-shell := ["powershell.exe", "-NoLogo", "-Command"]
hello:
Write-Host "Hello, world!"
I don't get what the problem is here? Do you protest against shebangs too? Why does a build script for a Windows only app need to use sh instead of powershell? I think you're interpreting "excellent windows support" to mean cross platform, and that's not what it means.
> So not only do you need just installed, which is yet another dependency,
Yeah if you want to use some software, your computer needs that software. That's not a dependency. So we're talking zero dependencies, or one of you absolutely need sh.
You can have Windows only recipes and Linux only recipes.
Furthermore, if you have bash installed on Windows (e.g. via git bash), you can put a shebang in your recipes to use bash.
We develop in Windows and deploy in Linux. Most of our recipes work in both OS's - either we use bash or Python for the recipe. The few that don't - we just mark as Windows only or Linux only so they're not available in the wrong OS.
> So not only do you need just installed, which is yet another dependency,
You do realize that Windows by default comes with almost no development tools, right? So yes, you do actually need to install things to get work done. The horror.
I'll also note that while you complain about just, you provide no alternative.
Weirdest rant ever.
