Ah! Technically, this version of the compiler has no continuity with the first one. It's just named Neat too, because I spent like a day trying to think of another name after I got sniped on C*, and couldn't come up with anything, and went "hey, I already have a name."
Neat as in the current iteration of the language, started in 2020.
Is it fair to discount all the false starts and early work prior to 2020? A bit like saying Picasso has been working on a painting for a month instead of his whole life.
I guess it’s more accurate to say that you’ve been an inveterate language designer for a very long time, and it’s nice to see your latest one go public.
