But my primary reason for wanting scripting is to be able to automate
the actual creation of dependency relationships.
Tup should automatically detect file dependencies of source files
without a language-specific parser. My impression was that this was
what CMake's file parsers are for. You may already know this though; I
may be underestimating the complexity of your situation.
Many languages have existing libraries that would be effective for
this sort of task, which is what makes run-script so great.
Integrating a language directly in the Tup binary solves a lot of the
complexities of using run-scripts, but with the obvious caveat that
you're limited to the language that is integrated.
If it would help though, it should be possible to enable Lua's require
keyword for including external modules. I disabled it because I didn't
know how to track module dependencies, dealing with dependencies outside
the project root, etc. but including common parsers would be a very good
use case.
