Well what I guess I mean is, I wish CMake were an API. That way I could use the language of my choice to drive CMake instead of using its quirky/esoteric language.

Ninja is indeed a build system backend but it's too low level. I want a intermediate to high level backend that abstracts common things I want to do.



But why do you think the API would look any nicer?


Well the API would have bindings for common languages


Quoting some old movie, "But you'd still have to kiss him! Eww."
