Competition: https://pydoit.org/

I've been using it for a while and it's pretty flexible:

  - dependencies
  - parallelism
  - programmatically generated tasks (since the config file is just a Python file)
  - "udf" to specify when a task is up-to-date and can be skipped


It seems to me like the selling point of this tool is that it is language agnostic - you don't have to write all your jobs in Python.

There are a lot of language specific tools like this. I love Ruby's rake.


pydoit is language agnostic (apart from using python for your configuration, but you'll need to use something)

How is having to use Python different from having to use the Justfile language?
