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.

  Well the API would have bindings for common languages
