+tup (file-based build system)
+
+Tup is a file-based build system for Linux, OSX, and Windows. It
+takes as input a list of file changes and a directed acyclic graph
+(DAG). It then processes the DAG to execute the appropriate commands
+required to update dependent files. Updates are performed with very
+little overhead since tup implements powerful build algorithms to
+avoid doing unnecessary work. This means you can stay focused on
+your project rather than on your build system.
