This immediately has caught my eye as huge "no" in the
description. We
must ban C style separate compilation, there is simply no way
to move
forward otherwise. At the very least not endorse it in any way.
Agreed. D build style should be one invocation per package. --

Just to clarify, reggae has:
1. Low-level building blocks that can be used for pretty much
anything
2. High-level convenience rules
There's nothing about #1 that forces per-module compilation. It
doesn't force anything, it's just data definition.
The current implementations of #2, namely dExe and the dub
integration spit out build systems that compiler per module but
that can be easily changed or even configured.
Even now it's perfectly possible to define a build system for a D
project with per package compilation, it'll just take more typing.
