#c_lang
You can build C projects using only a C compiler without needing tools like make or cmake by using the "nob" library, which lets you write build instructions in C itself. This makes your build process very portable across many systems (Linux, Windows, MacOS, etc.) because it depends only on the C compiler, which is widely available. It also lets you reuse code between your project and build system since both use C. However, it requires comfort with C programming and is mainly useful for simpler C/C++ projects, not complex ones with many dependencies. You just include the single header file "nob.h" to start using it. This approach simplifies building and increases control if you prefer coding your build steps in C directly.

#Idiom
💢Go off on a tangent
Or
💢 Go off at a tangent
🔰If a person or piece of writing goes off on a tangent or goes off at a tangent, they start saying or thinking something that is not directly connected with what they were saying or thinking before
💠Note:-
In geometry, a tangent is a straight line which touches a curve at one point
🕸 Ex:- Our teacher would occasionally go off on a tangent and start talking about something totally unrelated to the textbook.
💠Note:-
You can use other verbs instead of go
🕸 Ex:- The book's theme wandersoff on a tangent now and then.

💢Even exchange: a trade of equal value; when you return something and take something else that costs the same price
