I'm used to languages like Python, that have a number of files that are modules, and to start a program you run one of them as an entry point.

C programs consist of a lot of files that are compiled and linked into a binary executable.

Whenever I've tried to learn CL, I couldn't really wrap my head around what the eventual program would be. You build an in-memory state by adding things to it, later dump it to a binary. How do you get an overview of what there is?

I'm just too used to my files, perhaps. Or I'm missing something.
