   A single commit in github, and the compiler isn't there anyway. Where is the compiler?

      the compiler is in comp.ts, alongside the runtime

      it is not a pretty file and it has a lot of gambiarra and AI slop for now

      if you want to read something worthy, read the kernel (bend.ts)

         Glad to see a new release of Bend, fascinating cutting-edge stuff.

         I had to look up "gambiarra": a Brazilian expression that means to use improvised methods to solve a problem with any avaiable material.

         Totally understandable, I think you did the right thing by releasing early, even if it's still in rough shape, to get some public feedback. This forum can be a hit-or-miss, sometimes even great projects are not appreciated (and the opposite too). But I imagine some people are in the target audience who will see the project and actually explore the language, and follow along with its development.
