Qake: GNU Make-based build system with a different approach

So as someone thats recently been getting into Haskell I can say this, that example while sure its rather much more verbose for the simple case, the more complex stuff is where it starts to shine more.

That and without knowing haskell a little a lot of that will look like needless chatter. But like rake once you realize the dsl is just Haskell it starts to fall into place more.

Which is fine if you're using Haskell. I'm not sure I see the case for something like this if you're not using Haskell. Adding another package management system (cabal) into the mix seems like a lot of work.

Of course I don't think language-agnostic build systems in general make a whole lot of sense unless you have a huge enough project to have a team dedicated to the build system.
