Brilliant logo. I'm trying to put my finger on what it reminds me of. It tickles my brain.

What’s the connection to the snake clone or a half-byte?

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).

Doing this in ~3k LOC C without malloc or an AST is honestly pretty impressive. Interested to see how far the IR can scale.

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.

Also, this is actually around 1000 lines.
