Development is slower than most, because it's mostly a one-man operation, but it's fast, can statically compile, can make tiny binaries and is mostly compliant, and the dev fixes compliance/bugs fairly quickly.

Docs can be lacking at times, but the code is fairly clear.

Thanks for the info. Cool that one person has done most of it.

Also, it was interesting to see that large-scale real-world software has been developed using it.
