https://github.com/andreiw/tinycc possible port with improved support; but see andreiw/tinycc#1

NOTE: tcc is potentially nice to support, for compile times (important in repl)

workaround:

after #17, use nrpl will use clang by default (also now overridable with --cc:clang )

EDIT: actually tcc -run works (with warnings) even if tcc -c doesn't, so could maybe be used like that (we can only run directly, not compile)
