Gnu Make

The problem with make for scientific workflows

The workflow problem solved once and for all in 1979? As soon as the topic of scientific workflows is brought up, there are always a few make fans fervently insisting that the problem of workflows is solved once and for all with GNU make , written first in the 70’s :) Personally I haven’t been so sure. On the one hand, I know the tool solves a lot of problems for many people.
