- parse arguments on command line by name:
. j build a=hello
- parse lines into {{fragments}}
- assignment
. export environment variables
. no barewords
. use the same rules as rust: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference.html#string-literals
. \xHH, \u{HHHHHH}, \n, \r, \t, \0, \\, no other escapes
. '' strings with no escapes
. except {{ and }} are special and an be escaped \{{hello}} = "{{hello}}"
. allow concatination: "hello, " + person + "!"
. static errors when variables are missing {{}}, even if recipe isn't run
- write some tests to test the binary itself and all command line flags
- parse arguments on command line:
. by name: j build a=hello
. by position: j build hello
. with marker: j a 1 : hello 2 :
. with marker: j build hello : clean hello :
. after -- : j build -- foo baz
. could also allow this to override variables
although maybe only after a '--': j build -- a=hello
- parse lines into {{fragments}} and allow argument substitution
. sub arguments into recipes
- change error messages to underline problem token
- allow calling recipes in a justfile in a different directory:
- just ../foo # ../justfile:foo

require that all recipes have slashes?
or should non-slash recipes still run in this directory?
will need to change things a great deal

- preludes:
may be nice to allow all recipes in a given langauge to share
functions, variables, etc. could have a "prelude" recipe
which was included as a prefix to other recipes
