Note that this is not really replacement for most Makefiles - it does not do dependency tracking, parallel building, integrated rules, or any bulding at all.<p>This is a wrapper for go files which allows you call functions easier. With it, one can type “mage Something” instead of “go run Something.go”.

&gt; makefiles are essentially fancy bash scripts with significant white space and additional make-related syntax.<p>Make is a functional programming language. For example, variables are actually lambdas.
