Whereas there are no meta-build systems one can use as a drop-in replacement for
Blueprint, there are a number of build systems that can be used:
* [Bazel](https://bazel.build), Google's multi-language build tool to build and
test software of any size, quickly and reliably
* [Soong](https://source.android.com/setup/build), for building the Android
operating system itself
* [CMake](https://cmake.org), an open-source, cross-platform family of tools
designed to build, test and package software
* [Buck](https://buck.build), a fast build system that encourages the creation
of small, reusable modules over a variety of platforms and languages
* The venerable [GNU Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/)
