Thinking about the suggestion regarding command dependencies, possibly we could add something similar to Makefile:

    ## [clean]() Cleans the generated files
    
    ```bash
    rm -rf ./build
    ```

    ## [init]() Initializes the build folder
    
    ```bash
    mkdir -p ./build
    ```

    ## [build](clean, init) Builds the project

    This command depends on clean, and init, which are executed in that order beforehand.

    gcc magic.c -o ./build/magic

Make's killer feature is running only the necessary commands to bring a target file up to date. Support for phony targets is a hack on top of that.

I like what you're exploring, but it's not "make".
