Description
Support for Ninja was a priority in the original CMake work: #4203, but this was only really tested in the single configuration variety and only on Linux. We should check that Windows and macOS work for single configuration. Proper support multi configuration both in Ninja and Visual Studio is probably complicated by #4578, which probably requires a single configuration by nature.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the original CMake work in issue #4203 and the constraints described in issue #4578. Check Ninja single-configuration builds on Windows and macOS, then determine whether multi-configuration support for Ninja and Visual Studio is feasible. Done means the supported configurations work on the relevant platforms.
