[isocpp-sg15] std::build (Standardized Project Description Format)

Has there been any consideration for establishing a standardized format to
describe C++ projects that could be universally recognized by different
build systems? This wouldn’t involve creating a new build system, but
rather defining a common file format that accurately describes project
structure, dependencies, and build requirements in a standardized way.

The goal would be to improve interoperability and developer experience
across different build systems and generators, also allowing projects to
seamlessly transition between them without modifications to the project
file itself.

Additionally such a change could improve tooling and IDEs, enhancing the
developer experience even more!
