I've written build scripts in Rust. I take's flippin' forever (relative to shell or make). But at least it has proper error checking.

One of the guys working on Redox OS make a library called cake which provides macros for a Makefile style script: https://github.com/ticki/cake

That looks nice. It combines strong, static analysis with simple DSL and underlying power in language if necessary. Looks like The Right Thing approach in action.
