Another NIH build tool?

Never heard of it, and ninja is the only way to build C++20 modules alongside CMake.

Then again, that is something that Chromium probably will never bother with.

Wasn't ninja invented by a Google employee?
Sure, but only that team gets to put “designed and implemented new build system” on their resume. See how many meet/hangout/alo variants came out of Google. In companies of that size the “here” in NIH is a lot more localized to smaller units.
Doesn't change the situation of being yet another NIH tool, because Google departments have so few of them.
