I think FAKE (https://fake.build/ https://fake.build/), hits an amazing sweet spot for this: standardized, predictable, with no sacrifice of programming/platform power when dealing with builds. Project to another, just run "build.fsx" with the desired target -- it will self-download necessary tools and packages -- and you'll get a straightforward standard build. If you want to see the logic, just open it up: build scripts are standard F# scripts Because you're using first-class scripting you get full language power, full component and package management power, full abstraction power, aided by a set of utility methods and tools. At any point things get hairy you can wrap them into a lib, or a full program, with no domain impedance. It's standard code, as learnable as the rest of the F# proj, no voodoo, no black boxes. Heck, you can also load your project and use its libraries during the build. I find myself often using FAKE components in my main solutions to take advantage of its interop and publishing...
