You might want to take a quick look at SBT -- the standard Scala build framework. It's advocates started it because Ant and Maven are XML hell and are generally problematic, and Gradle is build on Java and Groovy, and (as you might expect) Scala folk abhor all things dynamic (i.e. Groovy) and insist on static type checking. I have some doubts about the huge downloads they dump into each project hierarchy, but there is no doubt that they have made excellent use of a statically type language to create a DSL for building Scala things. If D can be used to go down this sort of road, and if it can support the build and install facilities of SCons and Waf, then it could be a winner. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
