Many positive comments - am I the only one who doesn't like these declarative yaml, markdown, dsl things? No offence to the author(s), it's probably well implemented, I just can't stand these things primarily because of the lack of types, I never know what I'm looking at. I would much rather read comments and code.

I doubt this is meant as a production tool.
Its probably just a proof of concept to explore an interesting idea.
I cant agree on your point though. While there is a place for custom build tools, its incredibly rare. And if you're in a situation where you actually need to build a custom build tool for your project, you should consider fixing the reason why you'd need that. Builds shouldn't need such a complicated process..
