I think it is fantastic to have more compiler implementations. It was probably also a fun project to code. What I find lacking in web pages is a motivation. What makes it different from popular compilers? Where is this project heading? What would be potential benefits/use-cases for using this compiler vs others, lessons learned, etc.?

It's amazing how much one motivated person can achieve. Also, how competent the result seems to be. The test suite alone is pretty impressive.

Very impressive for a single dev project.
Nice to see someone started the work from zero instead of piggybacking LLVM.

This is something that intrigues me:
"Is able to output internal representations (tokens, abstract syntax tree, intermediate representation) in machine-readable JSON form."
I'm not sure what I can do with that information but I wish I had an excuse to use it

Congrats for the new optimizing pipeline, and thanks for the acknowledgment! It's nice to have company in the non-__GNUC__ camp.
