Greetings! I see that redo subject was already there before: https://lists.suckless.org/dev/1207/11916.html but much time passed since that discussion!
That year I tried redo and it was really life-changing. And no, Plan9 mk is not full-fledged replacement for (POSIX/BSD/whatever) Make, that solves all issues DJB noted. But redo leaves no place for mk too. Uriel wrote that it could be worth looking at until it will be written on C or Go. Now there are pure C https://github.com/leahneukirchen/redo-c and pure Go http://www.goredo.cypherpunks.ru/ implementations, not taking in advance various pure POSIX shell implementations. goredo was written as a replacement to Python apenwarr/redo's https://redo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ already mentioned in that maillist before, because of performance, reliability (fsyncs) and simplicity reasons (no SQLite3 database, just plaintext recfiles) with nearly all convenient features apenwarr's implementation has. I love suckless principles, and support them in most of my software -- redo is clearly without any doubts for me is in the suckless category with its genuine simplicity, flexibility and power, deserving to "rock". And some links just for reminding: https://fzakaria.com/2020/06/08/my-love-letter-to-redo.html https://apenwarr.ca/log/20101214 https://redo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ http://jdebp.eu/FGA/introduction-to-redo.html And for russian speaking people my hailing article to redo: https://m.habr.com/ru/post/517490/ with short full redo description and comparison: http://www.stargrave.org/redo-proscons.html -- Sergey Matveev (http://www.stargrave.org/) OpenPGP: CF60 E89A 5923 1E76 E263 6422 AE1A 8109 E498 57EF
