It’s a build tool, I’d be surprised if something like it worked well for non build related tasks. I suspect bazel would be equally verbose (if not even worse or impossible).
I think you’re better of using something like taskfile w/ earthly for a really good workflow, it gives you the best of both worlds.
Yeah, that was what I was doing in the prototype stage. But then I thought "why do we need two task runners? " and ended up just going with task files.
They sell it as a make replacement. Bazel constantly says "you don't need hazel, it is a big tool" and earthly does not. Which is fine.
Either way, I already said earthly is a great tool. This is just my feedback around why it doesnt fit my use case.

(Actually I think I saw this on their slack)
