Love this. But no explanations about the language. `defer` for example I didn't see in the 2 `main.n` I checked, and memory management remained a mystery. Would love to see a little more context.
This is just an observation, not a criticism of your brilliant project OP. People with sensory processing issues can struggle with reading text when everything is animating around it (as per readme).
Yep, the "reader mode" in Firefox is a gift from the Æsir to me. But when I get overwhelmed my first instinct is sometimes to close the tab right away.
Sensory Processing Disorder. I don't want to pick out a specific link since I'm no expert, but if you search for it and pick a reliable source you're on your way.
Many adults suffer from it without knowing. I'm one of them. Well, I was. I still suffer from it but now I know.
Intermediate Representation. It's an architecture independent "halfway point" that happens during compilation, in between reading the source code and writing the binary. It's part of the approach that makes it possible for LLVM to "plug-in" a new target architecture by just adding a bit that turns IR into machine code for the new chip.
I'm oversimplifying because it's all black magic to me, but I do know that acronym.
This is seriously impressive. A single pass LLVM frontend in ~3k lines of C with no malloc or AST is kind of wild. The graphical examples were a really nice touch too. Curious to see how far you can push the IR.

Also, this is actually around 1000 lines.

Oh, it was that simple to find. I was expecting something more complicated.
Thank you. Wikipedia seems like a good place to start.
