>Also, I keep mentioning this, but .NET lacks a build tool like Maven or something similar (SBT, Gradle, Leiningen).
You mean in terms of integration with Visual Studio? Because both Maven and Gradle can compile .NET code (msbuild or xbuild). Gradle doesn't natively support Nuget's format, but there are plugins for it.

Gradle just uses javac under the hood.
