No real concerns it would work perfectly, just this project isn't anything really important so trying something new is low risk. I do just enjoy trying new tools people develop in general too even if they aren't battle tested enough to use in production, I'm also that way about at least test driving new languages.

There have been quite a few newer versions of CLI tools recently a few of which have some good quality of life and/or performance improvements so was just wondering if there were any new takes on Make or build systems.

But yeah, I am also not a fan of the syntax and tabs although vim makes using tabs pretty transparent for me.

I agree about not sticking stubbornly to the classics if better versions are available. I’ve switched from grep to ripgrep, and recently switched from bash to zsh (it’s so much better). I’d be interested in a Make replacement with a better syntax, but it would actually have to be better, or at least as good.
