No doubt. The second attempt is always better. My initial plan was to write a complete first implementation in C so that it's always possible to bootstrap the language, then write a compiler inside the lisp itself, or write a Rust version. Hope I somehow manage to do it all before I die of old age.

this is my favorite thing about agentic coding. its super easy to build a v1 and get the system to a point where it does what you want which means you learn what you need for the v2 much faster
