Subject: rake drake or ?

Is there yet another alternative to drake vs rake?

Rake issues:
- https://github.com/jimweirich/rake/issues/207
  it does not abort early enough using --jobs 4
- There is no multifile, only multitask.
  Users can assume that -m is ok, but it should be the Rakefile author
  deciding upon this, not the user

Those are "fundamental" issues I don't want to keep.

drake issue:
all tasks get created in 0.09 secs.
  drake target
behaves almost well, but starts way too many tasks, so if one fails it
takes too long to stop

drake -j 4 target 
stops earlier (not starting that many jobs), but takes way longer (why
!??)

Now please help me: How to proceed? Start a drakerake project trying to
behave more dev/user/time friendly?

Is there another make like library which already does this?
