Probably not what you’re thinking of, but Bazel? https://bazel.build

Bazel isn't anything like what they are describing. Also, bazel is an incredibly miserable tool to use.
One of Bazels core principles is mass-scale distributed caching, and lots of the design decisions such as repeatability, correctness and deterministic building exist to that effect.

For individuals it's a pain to setup, but it's not built for them, or startups. Instead for enterprises who can dedicate a fully manned team to its maintenance

ahahaha, the concept of needing a full team to manage a build system is so ludicrous
Well ccache (and C builds in general) isn't exactly a bundle of kittens
