The title is unfortunate marketing. Fake is great for building a lot of stuff, not just .NET things.

Wasn't intended in ANY way to be marketing. I didn't realize folks were using it to build other stuff. Gimme some links and I'll update the post.

Actually I created it to build Microsoft Dynamics NAV applications, which were not .NET at that time.

Looks like this could replace PowerShell for deployment scripts. Something I personally would find very interesting. Could this work with Octopus Deploy?

Yes, I mention Octopus. There are some plugins I think.

There is a small tutorial: http://fsharp.github.io/FAKE/octopusdeploy.html

This is what happens when you write about something without knowing much about its context. There is an awesome "new" universe out there - it's called functional programming. You are orbiting around it, but we all hope, for the better, that you discover it more.
