Welcome

August is a task-based build system with a strong focus on parallelism. It is written in Rust, a language known for its stability and performance and relies on custom syntax to describe the build process.

August's name is derived from the name of a certain character, from a certain game, whose name is derived from the name of a certain German aircraft carrier.1
