Gear.js Build System

Gear.js was an extensible build system designed for both Node.js and browser environments, focusing on asynchronous task chaining. It provided basic building blocks that could be combined for complex builds, allowing tasks to be easily defined and extended via NPM or local files. Its key features included advanced flow control for task execution and the ability to run tasks in parallel. The project's last stable version, 0.9.7, was released approximately nine years ago, and the package has since been abandoned. There is no active development, maintenance, or modern JavaScript/TypeScript support. Developers should consider modern alternatives due to security concerns and incompatibility with current ecosystems.
