Hello,

I've been searching my mail archives and I could not find an official
announcement of Jenga (it was alluded to in the announcement of Core
Suite 109.11, then mentioned in further announcements and in the
ocamlbuild thread of late July). I had a look at the examples in the
github repository, and it looks like a very verbose way of writing
dependencies (see for instance
https://github.com/janestreet/jenga/blob/master/examples/hello/JengaRoot.ml).

I'm sure I'm missing the motivation behind this new build system. How
does it compare to the existing ones?

Thanks,

Alan
