Bart, seriously, what the hell are you talking about?

It's true that some languages don't need "make" as much as C does.

Nobody here has said otherwise, likely because other languages are
largely off-topic here in comp.lang.c.

By all means, don't use "make".  Nobody wants you to use it.  Nobody
thinks you need to care how it works.
