C project, C build tool.

There is also Muon [1] for Meson (Python).

I assume you're also not using a C compiler written in C++, thus neither clang, GCC nor msvc ?

It's always beneficial if some people choose to follow idealistic routes ;)

There are minimal C compilers written in C around, though, admittedly, not as relevant as GCC/clang/MSVC

As much as I believe this to be true in politics, I think it's really really wrong, if not actively harmful, in tech

Muon is a very nice project; especially the bootstrap means are great; unfortunately it doesn't seem to run on Windows and personally I don't think that Meson is a much better system/language than e.g. CMake; otherwise I would have used Muon instead of implementing BUSY.
