NOTE

   1. Install Visual Studio, check 'Desktop dev with C++' then add the optional tool 'C++ Clang'.
   2. winget install -e --id LLVM.LLVM then add binaries to Environment Variable. Binaries are generally installed at C:\Program Files\LLVM\bin.
2. Zig and GCC are required but not built-in.
   1. Use winget install -e --id zig.zig to install Zig (recommended).
   2. Use MinGW to install GCC then add to Environment Variable. Binaries are generally installed at C:\MinGW\bin.
