Hi, cafe. Neil Mitchell mentioned more than ten build systems written in Haskell in his paper [1]. The list includes shake (of cause) Abba, Coadjuke, hake, hmk, and even two cakes. I'm glad to announce the thirdcake - a DSL for make language. Thirdcake allows user to produce clean and safe (I hope) Makefiles for the good old GNU make. The package is in it's early stages and is not on Hackage yet. Consider visiting https://github.com/grwlf/cake3 or just git clone https://github.com/grwlf/cake3 ./Example/Foo contains working toy-project demonstrating the approach.
