lus

lus is a task runner similar to just. It's key differentiators are:

• No DSL, lus uses the existing KDL
• Runs tasks directly without a shell
• Comes with a simple built-in shell, so it works out-of-the-box on Windows
• Less features

b {
    - lus build
}

- host="$(uname -a)"

// build main
build {
    - cc *.a -o main
}

// test everything
test-all {
    - lus build
    - "./test" --all
}

// run a specific test
test {
    - lus build
    - "./test" --test $args
}

Special environment variables
