Shake can interpret Ninja files, actually. But I can see the appeal of Ninja files of something that allows one to avoid the GHC requirement in a build environment. Though I've found Ninja to be more like something that needs to be generated from something else and less something you'd write. So maybe Ninja can be exactly that, kinda like build script assembly.
