What recursive script are you talking about ?

Are you talking about Ninja? You realize that it is the standard
infrastructure of virtually all modern build systems, including
Meson/CMake. The chrome browser is built with Ninja, as is the Android
platform, and the Clang compiler. Ninja was introduced in 2012, so
it's not exactly the fad of the year.
