We need more trials in this space, building is still not fun after decades of it.

Personally, I think doit (https://www.bitecode.dev/p/doit-the-goodest-python-task-runn...) is still the winner in the python space, but there is a lot of it that could be improved.

Author here. I hadn't heard of Doit, but it does look similar to Hancho. Hancho pushes much harder on the minimalism side, however.

I think I may steal Doit's "actions can be arrays of commands" feature, as that would be trivial to add to Hancho and potentially useful.

I have used pantsbuild in the past. Had a pleasant experience with it.
