5Blueprint is a meta-build system that reads in Blueprints files that describe
6modules that need to be built, and produces a
7[Ninja](https://ninja-build.org/) manifest describing the commands that
8need to be run and their dependencies.  Where most build systems use built-in
9rules or a domain-specific language to describe the logic for converting module
10descriptions to build rules, Blueprint delegates this to per-project build
11logic written in Go.  For large, heterogenous projects this allows the inherent
12complexity of the build logic to be maintained in a high-level language, while
13still allowing simple changes to individual modules by modifying easy to
14understand Blueprints files.
