It does. Premake has experimental ninja support. The main author uses ninja, and he has a ninja module for premake. Lots of the premake extensions need to be made more visible, but extensions are a fairly new concept in premake. > premake's use of lua trounces the awful cmake DSL. Yeah, Lua is a really good language for this sort of description. I like how premake feels. I find the files much more brief, and more readable than cmake.
