Thank you very much for your feedback :). I did take a look at both (make and bazel) before I decided to start this project.
What I was missing in make was the containerization which enables running tasks inside container and take leverage of the installed tools there. That keeps the requirements on available tooling low and makes it als easier for cross platform development.
Bazel on the other side was very hard to get into and felt really complex. I am sure it's a great build tool and you can archive great things, but I thought maybe I could create something simpler that's almost as relable without the complexity. I am sure I miss a lot of features in my project that bazel covers and hope I do not end up with the same complexity.

At least I will learn a lot, either way :)
