So use D! I use D for my build script, works just fine.

https://github.com/mrmonday/serenity/blob/master/build.d

In ~365 LoC that I hacked together and didn't put much effort in to it 
builds a library and a binary, prints a coloured status update, supports 
parallel and remote builds, debug and release builds and a few other things.

Bonuses:
  * You get a full, awesome language to use
  * It's fast and easy
  * It's very maintainable by anyone who's working on your code (since 
they already know D)
