Spend a few weeks using my language. The difference between how it works 
and what you do on Linux is even starker.

There /is/ no build system speak of. Compiling any program even of 100 
modules is this invocation:

    mm prog                # prog.m is the lead module

Or you can forget about building completely, and just run direct from 
source code:

    mm -r prog             # (via native code)
    mm -i prog             # (interpreted)

If there's a simpler way to compile or run source code, I'd like to know 
what it is!

C is a little different because the language doesn't allow for automatic 
discovery of modules. But the extra info needed is simple: a list of files.

For single-module programs however, my C compile works just like 'mm' above.
