People keep changing the subject. You were talking about building and 
development on Linux vs Windows, rather than the benefits of a 
particular language.

Well, my language doesn't need a huge ecosystem of specialist tools for 
a start. Its compiler can turn a source files in the language into 
runnable code without any outside help!

I used to think that was the job of a compiler, but now I'm not so sure.

I wonder, do you any examples of a project which can be built using ONLY 
  a C compiler, and a set of source files?
