The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Makefiles
Rust's Cargo has the same appeal. There are 90,000 libraries that support cargo build/doc/run/test without fuss.

No, I believe GP is advocating against language-specific tools being the standard. In the ideal world you would have a Makefile that calls cargo so "make" still works like it does identically in the js or python or golang repos.

yup, thats the appeal - in a multi language environment a common call, not having to futz with cargo run, npm run start, python3 -m something, etc
