This application can help not only a small amount of programmers who use some specific languages and toolsets. Hefesto helps on automating several tasks that go beyond just compiling and linking programs. It depends on your necessity and disposition to extend Hefesto.

When you extend Hefesto it does not mean that you need to recompile the application. All is done via HSL, the domain specific language which Hefesto implements.

The HSL was developed to be simple but robust.
