Eask was originally designed as a package development tool for Elisp projects.
However, it has since expanded to support a wide range of Emacs Lisp tasks.
It can now be used in three major ways:
1. As a development tool for Elisp packages.
2. For managing dependencies in your Emacs configuration.
3. To run Elisp programs for a variety of purposes (essentially functioning as a runtime).
With these capabilities in mind, what sets Eask apart from other build tools
like [Cask][], [makem.sh][], and [Eldev][]?
Great question! Eask has evolved beyond just a build tool—it serves multiple purposes! Here’s what Eask aims to be:
- **Consistent**: Provides a reliable sandboxing environment across all systems.
- **Versatile**: Includes commonly used Emacs commands like `byte-compilation`, `checkdoc`, and more.
- **Robust**: Delivers useful results even when user errors occur.
- **Lightweight**: Runs on any platform without dependencies.
*📝 P.S. See [Why Eask?](https://emacs-eask.github.io/Getting-Started/Introduction/#-why-eask) for more detailed
information.*
