Comment on Microsoft Build Accelerator – open-source build engine for large systems

Comments

“Its own internal scripting language, DScript, an experimental TypeScript based format used as an intermediate language by a small number of teams inside Microsoft”

Anyone else notice this?

Yes, but really is it any different to what every build system does by inventing its own DSL or making a new DSL in some other language?

Ant did it in XML, Premake uses Lua, CMake has its own, etc
