  Under the hood, Rescript uses a build system called Ninja. Ninja is similar to Make, but cross-platform and more minimal/performant.

• Installer script for CMake, Ninja, and Meson
  4 projects | /r/bash | 1 Jun 2023

  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
  3 projects | dev.to | 6 May 2023

  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.

  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
  1 project | /r/antivirus | 16 Feb 2023

  I got Ninja from https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja, latest release. I'm assuming this is a false positive?
