What're the cleanest, most beautifully written projects in Github that are worth studying the code?
I'm biased, but Nox is pretty well organized, documented, and commented.

Looking Beyond Nox
I've gone through what I assume is a fairly typical journey between different ways to run tasks related to a Python project: from hand-rolled shell and Python scripts, to tox, to Nox. To be honest, I'm not sure how many people have switched from tox to Nox, but now that I've used Nox, I don't ever want to edit a tox.ini file again.

TypeScript's Successor is Waiting, and You'll Never Want to Turn Back
Under the hood, Rescript uses a build system called Ninja. Ninja is similar to Make, but cross-platform and more minimal/performant.
- Using Make – writing less Makefile

Ask HN: What outdated tech are you still using and are perfectly happy with?
Really? I thought most new projects were switching to ninja[^1] and have never used it.

I have spent two whole work days trying to install GLEW
warning: Starting with the September 2023 release, the default triplet for vcpkg libraries will change from x86-windows to the detected host triplet (x64-windows).

Installer script for CMake, Ninja, and Meson
I thought I would share my custom installer script for the latest GitHub versions of CMake, Ninja, and Meson.

Building and Running Pidgin and Finch 3
Now that you have your build system all generated you can go ahead and build everything. By default Meson will use Ninja as the build tool. Ninja is similar to Make but much much faster. You can also generate additional build systems but that's outside of the scope of this post.

Is there any way to configure my project so I can work on it on both Windows and MacOS?
There are also some other tools like https://ninja-build.org/ that you might prefer using instead

Bitdefender blocked Explorer.exe and Ninja.exe has been quarantined
I got Ninja from https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja, latest release. I'm assuming this is a false positive?

Just: A Command Runner
Oh excellent, then better (and more portable!) tools are available:
and, if you hate yourself: https://bazel.build
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Nox and ninja you can also consider the following projects:
tox - Command line driven CI frontend and development task automation tool.
meson - The Meson Build System
Invoke - Pythonic task management & command execution.
SCons
tox-battery - Experiments with Tox plugin system
Bazel - a fast, scalable, multi-language and extensible build system
PyBuilder - Software build automation tool for Python.
