What is the/your current/popular choice for dotnet c# scripting ?
With top level statements a .cs-file can be quite similar to csx. I just whish I could specify the nuget packages in it so we could ditch the csproj. Or that csx for full support in dotnet run. I usually just use top level statements with Bullseye, that's quite neat even if it requires a csproj. Here's an example of what I do with it: https://github.com/OskarKlintrot/UpdatR/blob/main/tools/Build/Build.cs

I've been wasting time writing Clone libraries. What's your free time project?
My side project is UpdatR (https://github.com/OskarKlintrot/UpdatR) which I use to replace Nukeeper at work. Nukeeper is deprecated and stopped working on Azure DevOps but Dependabot isn't available on Azure DevOps. "How hard can it be" I thought and spent too many evenings getting it working good enough to actually use... It updates packages to the latest version that is still supported by the target framework and generates a title and body to be used in the PR. It seems to be working so far. I want it to support multitarget frameworks and updating Directory.Build.props too, which are no small tasks...

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

.NET build tool using Bullseye and SimpleExec
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.
