Is there any clone of make that's aiming to address the issues with file name spaces?

Being incapable of handling spaces is a bug that's been marked Minor since 2002 - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?712

(plus I find double quotation marks easier to read and write than escaping every space in a path)

Edit: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66800/promising-alternat... (they aren't really clones tho)
