Lichen: The Sed Build System (opens in new tab)

I think I can vaguely remember that I had issues with something like this on a bog-standard linux. env has the -S option though, which should help on systems where multi-argument shebangs don't work.

Can't sleep, must publish build systems for more fringe programming languages.

As someone who only used sed for quick pipeline editing, I'm curious of what constitutes a "sed project" that this tool aims to build. Does anyone have examples?

Insta-install. No more ad-hoc sed-ing! Now I can add lint, test, and build steps to my `sed` applications.

Read that as “Lichen: the sea’s build system” and was expecting a comparison of lichen (a kind of moss) to makefiles.

I think my brain is still in holiday mode haha
