  Description     : meta-build system that generates build files for Ninja

 It can generate Ninja build files for C, C++, Rust, Objective C, and Swift
 source on most popular platforms. Other languages can be compiled using
 the general “action” rules which are executed by Python or another scripting
 language (Google does this to compile Java and Go). But because this is not
 as clean, generally GN is only used when the bulk of the build is in one of
 the main built-in languages.
