Eh?  You must be thinking of something besides an Amiga.  I don't type
anything to compile a program.  I just double-click the "build"
icon.  What's so hard about that?

The SAS/C compiler has an ARexx port with hooks so it can be integrated
with any text editor, but I haven't yet found any compelling reason to do
so.  I can flip between my text editor and Workbench environment with a
touch of the mouse button, so it's no big deal.
