Buildr is an Apache Incubator project. http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/BuildrProposal It is intended to be a drop-in replacement for Maven. It is best to see it as a possible future of the Maven build culture, emphasizing full lifecycle management. It probably rises or falls with Maven, not with its choice of language. At this time, penetration of Ruby within Apache is limited. Buildr is being used to build Apache ODE. http://ode.apache.org/ The sources come in a 4MB .zip file; in short, it's a medium sized project. I don't think Buildr will prove anything about advanced general purpose scripting languages. It could prove something about the wisdom of full lifecycle management in the Maven style, if augmented with a scripting language. The Raven author is listed as a contributor to Buildr. Given the quietness of the Raven community, I wonder if he's bowing to the way the wind is blowing?
