You might want to check out FAKE, it essentially lets you write MSBuild configurations using F#:
http://fsharp.github.io/FAKE/ http://fsharp.github.io/FAKE/
This recent announcement means that a multi-platform FAKE in the near future looks like a good bet.

- shoo 11y agoI used fake in anger. I wouldn't recommend using it compared to more mature alternatives for serious projects. It seemed strictly worse than using NANT & invoking msbuild. Yes, xml is horrible, but NANT is mature. Both tools don't understand file dependencies. From that perspective they are inferior to make.
- brusch64 11y agoFunny - I've used exactly the same thing NANT & msbuild. Couldn't get my solution to build just with NANT.
