Implement a task runner

[bjgavilanes]

Usually, in a project there are node scripts throught package.json. It's common to have a project to propose a pipe such as:

npm run check && npm run dev

Such as in AstroJS projects.

This is fine, but manual invocation of commands does lead to sloppy development. And not a good experience, too.

There are two task runners for suited for this repo:

make part of the POSIX standart. It's usually implement throught gnumake for almost every Linux distro. We can assure the existance of make using Docker / Podman or Nix, even.

Then there's just, that's a new contender in the task running scene. It has good features, such as automatic --help for reading task targets, and aims to "deal with make's idiocyncracies"

Sure, there's pure shell scripts, and node scripts, too, but manual handling of targets dependencies is no bueno. I would recommend it.

I would prefer make, for this project is not that complex, and we would not declare another dependency, for make is part of almost every UNIX/Linux box, whether or not you use it.

In my opinion, not worth it. I saw your proposal (#6), about adding nix as environment, if you want the same functionality of the packages you already mentioned (make, just), with package.json and its script object is enough, it is not necessary to add a “task runner”, you would only add more packages to the environment for a functionality that can already be done with npm/pnpm/yarn.

NodeJS is a runtime, not a compiler, it is not necessary to add flags to adapt it to different systems, as projects using Make/Just usually do. It just need to execute $ node <file>.js to start interpreting
