    "Update: Wow, this got a second life! Seeing a spike in GitHub clones (328+ in 2 days). If anyone's trying G, I'd love to hear:

        What's your use case?

        What's the biggest hurdle you faced?

        What feature would make G actually useful for you?

    Thanks for checking it out! — A 17yo student building this."

No offense, but the source code for this is wild. It's almost like outsider art. https://github.com/pouyathe/glang/blob/main/source/dub/sourc...

Still, I have to respect the dedication it must have taken to get this working. I'm sure you'll go far.

My advice to you would be to read Crafting Interpreters by Bob Nystrom (it's free online) and try to apply some of the techniques from it to your project.
