Ninja

Ninja is optimized to minimize overhead for rapid incremental compilation, directly addressing slow build times in large-scale development as highlighted in its speed-first design.

With a small codebase and simple feature set, it reduces complexity and improves reliability, making it suitable for demanding environments where performance is critical.

Pre-built binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows are available on GitHub, ensuring broad compatibility without requiring installation, as noted in the README.

It can build itself using a Python generator script or CMake, demonstrating its efficiency and versatility in real-world use, as described in the building instructions.
