Gut Build System
Traditionally, a build system consists of shell scripts and make files. I want to replace the shell scripts and make files with Haskell source code. To do this a Haskell function library that provides the same sort of functionality that shell scripts and make files already provide will be needed.
Since all Haskell computer programmers are familiar with Haskell I do not see how the transition would pose a problem provided that Haskell source code is capable of being competitive with shell scripts. I believe it can be. The goal is to make the build process fast and robust.
I hope to gut the present build system and replace it with something entirely new. The change will be global and will effect everyone. What I intend to do will be innovative. It will be an octopus of sorts in that it is going to effect everything.
