but there's no standard, just CMake defaults that I change ? It's not more standard to call /usr/bin/clang++ than /usr/bin/g++ (and if I was running freebsd instead of linux, as far as I know that's what would happen by default) ; likewise, other build systems like Meson use ninja by default (and that does not make ninja any more of a standard than make is when using cmake under GNU/Linux). Those are just tools in a toolbox.
