Mise does do local-only Make-similar task caching, if you specify sources and outputs: https://mise.jdx.dev/tasks/task-configuration.html#sources

If you specify sources but not "outputs" then mise will auto-track whether sources have been modified.

I requested the auto-track feature to speed up Docker builds a pretty long time ago, and it's been fantastic.

This is good to know! Seeing it say in the tool comparison that it doesn't support caching is a bit vague. I assumed that mean local caching too.

Ideally local and remote caching would be built on the same underlying code path.

ah I think I misinterpreted this to mean remote caching

yeah artifact caching is the obvious interpretation of caching when you're used to being compared to bazel, but the conversation was conflating "cache artifacts" and "cache should-run?" features.
