I like it because it's language and tooling agnostic, declarative, fast and ubiquitous.

Where it's less great is complicated recipes and debugging



Look at "remake": a drop-in fork of GNU make, with an interactive debugger.


Make is not language agnostic; it has implicit rules for compiling C.


it also has implicit rules for other languages, why would that make it non-agnostic?
