I'm also looking for a new build tool (Ant is what I currently use, and it's so 2001).
Then I remembered that the proper way to go about this is to first check the Node's wiki Modules page on Github, section "build and deployment": https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/modules#wiki-build-and-deployment Also, there's the node-waf tool (installed with Node), used AFAIK to build native libs for Node, but should be pretty usable for anything. You can see the grammar here: http://docs.waf.googlecode.com/git/apidocs_16/index.html (I'm just about to check this out more closely, so I might be wrong.) J.
