I started writing my tasks in mise (https://mise.jdx.dev/tasks/) instead of just, but I found that others didn’t want to install it. Something about mise being an all-in-one tool—combining asdf/direnv/virtualenv/global npm/task management—made installing it just for the task feature off-putting. At least that's my theory. So, I’m back to using just. I am happy that there isn't a ton of pushback on adding a justfile here and there. Maybe it’s the name—‘just’ feels lightweight and is known to be fast, so people are cool with it.
