I'll give a counter opinion on `mix build`. I find it confusing because I don't know what it does. I used zig for a while and the most confusing thing about their environment was the build command. If `mix build` was added today, I would end up having to read mix.exs every time to remember what it did. I'm not sure a standard alias will be helpful if everyone ends up having to customize it anyway and then there is no shared understanding of what `mix build` means.
