​​I've been working a lot with Makefiles lately, and I must say, it's not the most pleasant experience. Back in a day, I had a post here about how to replace GNU Make with Python's Invoke.

Today, I want to share a tool called Mage. It is a make/rake-like build tool using Go that depends only on Go's standard library. Ofc, some other Go-based task execution tools exist, like, for example Task.

However, unlike Task, Mage leverages plain Go syntax while Task uses YAML to define its recipes. Thus, Mage is much more flexible, especially when it comes to loops and so on. Also, you can write automation for your projects with Go!

P.S. A link to the post about Invoke.
