 # mobius
 A preprocessor for [ninja build](https://ninja-build.org/)
 
-Ninja is not designed to be "convenient to edit by hand", and the developes strongly suggest using some form of machine generation. Well, here it is. Mobius is a preprocessor for `ninja.build` files, and should be suitable for most small, or even mid-sized projects. It takes about 1 millisecond to run on a 20000 line work project with a series of complex build rules that includes `moc`, `qrc`, `boost-python`, and `protoc`, with the option of using either `clang` and `gcc`, and five build modes. (`debug`, `release`, and three sanitizers: `usan`, `asan`, and `tsan`.)
