Having watched what happened with Gant, Gradle, Buildr, sbt, Leiningen, Rake, Bake, Rant, Ant, Maven, make, Cmake, Autotools, etc. I fear the overall effect of a "focused on D" build tool, whether build from scratch or over another framework. Specialist per language build tools lead to a ghettoization. Even 5 mins looking at the Rake, sbt and Leiningen situations make this abundantly clear. Which is sad as there are many good things about all of them.
Rake isn't targeted to a single language. It's just as make but with a different syntax for the script files. If you take a look at the official tutorial you can see that they use C in the examples.
