but it isn't as easy project as it may sound.
I didn't know about reggae, looks interesting. However after
brief review is seems to be overcomplicated and inconvenient in
some cases.
As for dub I don't think it is unrelated. Why std.build couldn't
be dependency manager?
What about:
std.build = part of reggae + part of dub
