dzuil is not my choice of build tool, but I'll be glad to help. Fuck mst with an iron spoon. I can honestly say he did more to push me away from Perl than any technological element. In fact, on tech meets he's a joke. I'm on a Perl team moving over to node. Our two biggest complaints are mst, and POE in that order.
I've had extensive experience with python, and ruby. I think if I move to another language it'll be Haskell or Go. But, I'm still loving node. While I hate the language (ECMA5), the community, the fast pace of change, and the acceptance to new ideas has forged a climate that makes work fun again.
Good luck in your future pursuits.
