This pays too much homage to Ant in my opinion.
If you were to strip out the XML from Ant what is left is a poorly designed language which has little expressive power. Short of the surface structure of Ant is nothing like Lisp.
The Ant community couldn't even agree what sort of language it was. A hack pretending not be a hack.
