MSBuild is going cross-platform with .NET Core

.Net has F# though, which I adore to no end. Can even avoid MSBuild with FAKE.

But then FAKE is just like MAKE which is just like MSBuild or ANT.

IMHO FAKE syntax is not for me.

.NET has F#, nice. JVM has Scala, JRuby, Clojure, etc. But that's a matter of taste/opinions.

And Frege. Much closer to F# than Scala / JRuby / Clojure.

Oh, God, thank you! I've been hunting and hunting for something to replace CruiseControl. I had no idea this existed. Is there an easy way to turn this into a CI?

You mean get it working with a CI server? If so, yes it can from what I've read.

I think it works with AppVeyor and Team City: http://cakebuild.net/dsl/build-system

Note: I've never used Cake myself, but have seen it recommended alongside Fake.
