#3I first saw Tup a few years ago as it seemed to be the preferred way to filewatch/automagically-transpire moonscript to lua.

#5We use Tup to build Flynn [1], it's a pretty neat build system.
The only real drawback is that it's hard to get to work on some operating systems because of dependency on FUSE.
That said it still beats the crap out GNU Make or CMake etc.

#6To the authors : It would be really great if you could compare the SCons build system to Tup (with some numbers) - so that I can convince my managers to switch :).

#7I can't recall what exactly but I hit expressiveness problems with tup (after proper RTFM). Probably some self referential issue. For the use case listed it's indeed very nice and very fast.

I don't think I've seen a more intelligence-insulting description of a product.

#10The FUSE dependancy is pretty unfortunate. Is there any way to get rid of it?
Other than that, it's pretty cool. And the creator clearly has a sense of humor, something which is far rarer than it should be.
