Not enamoured of waf; seems too complex/terse a language, feels like reading Erlang while doing JS. I see why you need it to build node, which is, after all, built in C. But to build external projects after node is in place?
I really like jake's syntax, very much. It just doesn't have (a) enough built-in functions; (b) good separation between functions and tasks/targets.
