```ts
pub fn compile(
b: *Build,
step: anytype,
name: []const u8,
...
basically if you have
struct Foo = {
pub fn bar(self: u8) void {}
};
const foo: Foo = .{};
you can't actually do
const baz = foo.bar;```
because foo.bar isn't actually a thingfoo.bar() is, but it's just sugar for Foo.bar(foo)
so, to call compile in executable you need to do ts return compile(b, Build.addExecutable, name, root_path, target, optimize);

I see, I thought that wouldn't work correctly
wet mason
and in compile itself you need to do
const comp = step(b, .{```ah okay
wet mason
yeah, if you came from javascript it could be trippy
because of this the object you call a .method() on actually matters
not in zig though, it just passes the thing as the first parameter implicitly

nah, been using zig a year, still don't get it, reimplementing my own zig
