Compared to other build systems I've used (make, maven, ant) most important
for me was being an internal DSL giving access to all Ruby language features
and direct access to tons of existing libraries. Beyond Turing
completeness, some build problems rival normal application development in
complexity and I don't like to be short-changed on code structure,
expressiveness, conciseness and abstraction capabilities.
