+Exploring the need/possibility to move from maven/gradle to cargo.
+
+That is, build tool for java taking inspiration from Cargo
+
+And it's called Jargo. I do not wish to put a J in front of anything, as is the java tradition, 
+but 'jargo' actually sounds kinda nice and it conveys pretty much what it is. 
+
+It is NOT a new maven (not yet at least).
+
+Basic premisses:
+1. do NOT copy anything from the maven philosophy (phases, goals etc). Instead find out on the go what would be 
+a good design
+2. uses TOML 
+
+Goals:
+1. Simple management of (test) dependencies
+2. ability to compile to jar files
+3. ability to run unit tests
+
+After this, we'll validate it's performance. If it's not faster/easier/better than maven, then abort
+
+But instead, if it will save you time/resources/heart failure, then why not take this next level?
