ClearScript VS simple-exec

Microsoft makes ClearScript

I've used ClearScript before to use JavaScript as a DSL in a tool. No issues at all. https://github.com/microsoft/ClearScript

I've had good luck with Microsoft's Clearscript - https://github.com/microsoft/ClearScript)

The ClearScript library https://github.com/microsoft/ClearScript enables V8, JScript and VBScript to be used as extension languages for .NET languages. Our company uses it extensively and has done so with great success for years. Anything done in C# can be exposed to the scripting language and to some extent back the other way as well.

Along the same lines, I use Microsoft ClearScript which uses JavaScript.

I personally use Bullseye and SimpleExec instead of Nuke. I really like sticking to "normal" C#. I used Cake before but never liked it.

I personally advocate Bullseye in combination with SimpleExec as a build tool for .NET projects due to its sheer simplicity by providing a bare bones API to define the tasks and their dependent tasks in plain C# code. Both these libraries are build by Adam Ralph. It does not enforce any specific model or structure to write your build tasks. When someone runs through the build script, it is fairly straight forward to understand whats going on. We use this build tool setup for Marten for both local dev and CI build tasks and has worked well so far. Also many OSS projects have adopted it.

add simple-exec and you’ve unlocked bash scripts as well
