`Just` is also popular in this space, but tbh I think Make is a better choice.

Make is included in most Linux distros, including the ones available for WSL. It's also included with Apple's developer tools. It's been used for decades by millions of people, and is very mature.

If you use it in a simple way, Make is almost identical to `Just`. And when/if you want Make's powerful features, they're there and ready for you. Make's documentation is also exceptional.

I've used a bunch of these kinds of tools over the years, and I've never found one that I like more than Make.
