Introducing Errand.

A task runner inspired by Terraform/OpenTofu. Typed variables, computed values, task dependencies that resolve automatically, parallel execution.

Terraform/OpenTofu is used by millions of developers. Errand takes that syntax as a starting point so you don't have to learn a new language from scratch.

Feel free to try it and share feedback on features or bugs.

Thank you.

Fun fact: this project is almost 4 years old. It started as a linter, then pivoted to a task runner and took nearly 4 years not because it's complex, but because I was going at my own pace. Pausing, stopping, coming back. It's finally here.
