It's not surprising if it's not public. No one is surprised that no one has mentioned the internal Google build system, for instance. > Open source implementation here: > https://github.com/batterseapower/openshake It's good to see this, but is it usable yet? I was assuming from the fact that it's not on hackage yet that it's still experimental. If Shake is still "hopefully" going to be released then maybe there's not a lot of motivation to work on a replacement, but if it's in "no one knows" limbo then that could stall a replacement too. I don't really care so much about build systems that I'd write one from scratch or bootstrap an experiment, but if there were something that was already usable that would be a different story... _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
