Honest question: why don’t we see a new version of Make tailored to more modern use cases, and that is available immediately/automatically in the most used Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian, etc.)?

I’ve seen dozens of new libraries, frameworks and prog. languages appeared in the last 20 years… but no one is interested in improving Make? I’m not talking about creating an alternative (e.g., Task), I’m talking about Make 2.0

Same goes for Bash.

I saw this further down in the thread: https://github.com/casey/just

Looks like a version of make optimized for running commands instead of builds.
