The idea is that the user supplies the dependencies between targets and recipes for how to make a target from those dependencies. If changes happen to one recipe (cf. if one edits one source file in a make project), only affected variables will be recomputed. Upon computation, a backup is written to disk. This means that even when the work on the script is resumed in a different session (because you went home, julia cr…
