Gulp.js is awfully similar to James.js, coincidence?

I think by now most of you are familiar with Gulp.js, the new and shiny JavaScript task runner on the block, but I just came across another build tool that’s surprisingly similar called James.js which has been around for longer then Gulp.

What’s the story behind James.js and why didn’t it get the attention that Gulp got?

Marketing. If you want people to use your tool, they need to know about it. Gulp has a website, a Twitter account, people writing about it, etc...
