What is Ninja?
Ninja is a build system designed to run builds as fast as possible, focusing on quick incremental rebuilds rather than being written directly by hand. Its input files are typically generated by a higher-level tool like CMake rather than authored manually, since Ninja's own file format is intentionally minimal and low-level. It is often chosen as a faster backend for projects that already use CMake to generate their build files.
