Meson is an open source build system meant to be both extremely fast,
and, even more importantly, as user friendly as possible.

The main design point of Meson is that every moment a developer spends
writing or debugging build definitions is a second wasted.
So is every second spent waiting for the build system to actually start
compiling code.

Features

  Visual Studio and others

- build definitions in a very readable and user friendly non-Turing
  complete DSL

  sacrificing correctness
- built-in multiplatform dependency provider that works together with
  distro packages
