(If we don't bring cons back to life.)Unless they are hiding all the interesting stuff on their webpage, rake doesn't do any of the checksum build signatures that came from cons. The syntax looks nice so I have considered working underneath and adding the plumbing I put in cons that allow redundant builds to be truncated early or add con's derived object caching.
True, I don't think rake's goals were as lofty as cons/scons. I use rake mainly for automating repetitive tasks for my project and less as a "build tool". Since all my programming is in ruby these days, I don't really build anything anymore. Rake let's me do simple automation using my favorite language: ruby!
