All of the build systems I listed support cleaning and rebuilding as well. > Dependencies would go into logic of shell script, it can have > check_dependencies which checks for files.

Of course, one could rewrite any build system, with varying degree of difficulty, in shell script if needed, but then one would a) still write build scripts (Makefiles, .do files...) in that build system, and b) that would be suboptimal. Shell script is not a general-purpose programming language. Just some of the drawbacks of using shell script is that it is a slow, insecure, interpreted language with limited expresiveness. Above all else, it was not designed to be a general-purpose programming language. P.S: https://git-send-email.io/top-posting.html
