Run C Interpreted Scripts

Derived from: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9145279

Just put this on the first line of your C file:

//usr/bin/env make -s "${0%.*}" && ./"${0%.*}" "$@"; s=$?; rm ./"${0%.*}"; exit $s

Then just do chmod u+x ./main.c; ./main.c.

Make sure there isn't a directory that has the same name as your C file name, otherwise it won't work.

If you can combine this with nix-shell shebang you might even get a package manager for free too!
