Well you need to build your software. My packages tend to have a super
simple makefile around dune, because I'm used to type `make` but
claiming one can write modern OCaml without learning a bit how to build
it is naive at best. It's like *any* other language, you got to learn a
bit of tooling (even python — good luck with pip or conda — or javascript
with its pile of tools that change all the time. Oh and what about
cmake?)

Because `ocamlopt foo.ml -o foo` won't scale.
