My real goal is to think about better language for software build systems, since what we have now is pretty weak, in my view.
I can't speak for your monad based approach, but you may be interested in Neil Mitchell's Haskell DSL for build systems, called Shake: http://community.haskell.org/~ndm/downloads/slides-shake_a_better_make-01_oc... I have an open source implementation of it which has all the core functionality at http://github.com/batterseapower/openshake. (Warning: the code is quite ugly at the moment) Cheers, Max
