Ninja is a small build system with a focus on speed. It differsfrom other build systems in two major respects: it is designed to haveits input files generated by a higher-level build system, and it isdesigned to run builds as fast as possible.

Why yet another build system?

Where other build systems are high-level languages Ninja aims to bean assembler.
