That's one way. Another way is to specify the TPU source you want to
run at startup using $ edit/tpu/command=filename.tpu just as you can
do in Python with Python source code.

You can also interactively enter TPU source code into the current
buffer and then use EXTEND EVE to compile it.

So you can use TPU in both modes, just as you can with Python...

The reason I do call Python a compiler is because when you are installing
a Python library from source, the source code gets compiled and the
compiled files are then placed inside a library directory just as would
happen when compiling a C program from source.
