+in R; the @code{targets} package brings function-oriented programming to
+Make-like declarative pipelines.  It orchestrates a pipeline as a graph of
+dependencies, skips steps that are already up to date, runs the necessary
+computation with optional parallel workers, abstracts files as R objects, and
+provides tangible evidence that the results are reproducible given the
+underlying code and data.  The methodology in this package borrows from GNU
+Make (2015, ISBN:978-9881443519) and drake (2018,
+<doi:10.21105/joss.00550>).")
