You don't need any of that because the `compile-command', e.g.
"make -j 4 -s -k " that can be the same for every mode or
programming language or formatting you do.

Also there's no need to look for a Makefile because it looks
in the same directory as the buffer for one and if there is
one, that's where it happens.

Time to step up your game :(
