Oh, no. Another slightly different format? :/

Re: Earthly – Makefile Meets Dockerfile
#5This essentially looks like a Makefile where the tasks (targets) are run inside Docker containers. That is useful, I've definitely written Makefiles where tasks run in containers, and I wish it was easier.
But does this actually replace Bazel? Without language specific rules, like knowledge of dependencies, can it build a full dependency graph? If I have a monorepo with many packages, can Earthly build only what needs to be built, and always build what needs to be built?

#6I strive to see a selling feature in comparison to gitlab-ci... Mixing its syntax with docker is only so little.

Except all the nice things from makefiles like actual rules are missing in this one. There must be a better way to do this. Isn't there a tool to actually incrementally build container layers in the normal file system that works with the real make or any other build system?

#9That Dockerfile looks exactly like a multi-stage build Dockerfile, just with custom and non-standard syntax.
Why NIH instead of simply adopting the already supported Dockerfile syntax of doing the same thing?

But isn't this file processed differently?
