WAnt is a Pascal-friendly build automation tool. It automates the process of building, testing, and packaging applications and libraries much like Apache (ex Jakarta) Ant does. WAnt is kind of like Ant, without being Java-dependent, whereas Ant was "kind of like Make, but without Make's wrinkles."

WAnt is written in CodeGear Delphi (formerly Borland Delphi), primarily — but not exclusively — for users of Delphi and other Pascals. It was originally written by Juancarlo Añez in 2001. Juanca eventually ceded control of the project to Andrew J. Wozniewicz in 2005.

WAnt features a GUI IDE called WIDE, in addition to the traditional command-line version of WANT.

Both WIDE and WANT can run scripts written in WANTScript, a new, general-purpose, block-structured scripting language based on Modula-7 and designed to be programmer-friendly (i.e. readable, in the tradition of Pascal-like languages).

WAnt is FREE software. It is released under the Mozilla Public License 1.1 and its distribution includes the complete Delphi 7/Object Pascal source code.
