Congrats on making the release! I glanced through the docs and it seems Beast works via a graph over targets and mtimes?

I recently wrote some retrospective notes about build system design in this area that seem like they might be useful for someone in exactly your place:

Hi! Thanks a lot!! These are valuable and I am excited to take a look!! Interestingly, some of the things that you mentioned here are things that I discovered while using Make and Ninja purely through experimentation!!!

Great work!!
