By 'platform' I meant programming language and execution environment (JVM/Ruby/Python), not OS.

I'm fond of not having the number of build systems I'm responsible for maintaining grow in step with the number of programming languages I use in a project.
All build systems I've come across are quite happy to build code in other languages - just like make. The reason I'd recommend the dominant system in each ecosystem is, well, that: It's dominant, thus likely to be better supported for the issue you're likely to face.
I've gone back and re-read your comments in this post and tried to find something concrete in them. You use strong, imperative language, yet I have no idea what you are recommending.
