Nice. Why weren’t you using fpm (you just needed `fpm run` after each edit) in the first part of the video? 😝

For simple, one file programs I find the boiler-plate/overhead of fpm to be unnecessary. Sure, I could have used fpm, but then there’d be questions of “what’s all that other stuff in the project?” from those unfamiliar with fpm.

As you wish, I personally don’t think it would have been a problem. Also, I’d note that in the quicksort part, there’s more boilerplate than 3 files

```nohighlight
