> TL;DR The world is moving from Gulp and Grunt towards npm scripts. This seems like a place we could stay for a long time. But there's one shortcoming with npm scripts, especially when compared to Makefile: it's a sub-optimal command-line experience. So I wrote Fakefile: a universal Makefile that you can save into any Node project to offer your npm scripts as Makefile targets. This makes operating npm scripts ten times faster, and offers a polite language agnostic way into your project to people coming from non-js backgrounds. Just type npm install fakefile and profit instantly.
