However, with the next release of Build the differences will be much more  
pronounced. I've completed the coding for v3.0 of Build and I'm just  
tidying up the docs this weekend. The main new feature, which btw makes it  
diverge from DMD, is a macro processor. At this stage its only a text  
replacement feature but in subsequent releases it will have a fully  
functional macro processor included (which is already designed and  
prototyped).

Just as an example, it can now transform things such as
   "for i = 1 to 100 do"
to
   "for(int i = 1; i <= 100; i++){"
