<h1 id="the-meson-build-system">The Meson Build system</h1>
<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>
<p>Meson is an open source build system meant to be both extremely fast,
and, even more importantly, as user friendly as possible.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2 id="features">Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>multiplatform support for Linux, macOS, Windows, GCC, Clang, Visual Studio and others</li>
<li>supported languages include C, C++, C#, D, Fortran, Java, Rust</li>
<li>build definitions in a very readable and user friendly non-Turing complete DSL</li>
<li>cross compilation for many operating systems as well as bare metal</li>
<li>optimized for extremely fast full and incremental builds without sacrificing correctness</li>
<li>built-in multiplatform dependency provider that works together with distro packages</li>
<li>fun!</li>
</ul>
