Replies like this always make me cringe in self doubt.

There are so many projects I started because I was interested in the problem set, got to a point where I was proud of the result, only to change my search terms just a little and find an established project by someone else.

And sometimes I read replies like this and I think it feels like someone just saying "repost: " and linking fifteen other HN threads.

Wasn't my intent to dismiss it as anything like a repost, the WebAssembly target is all new, Kitten and StrongForth don't offer that.

If it's a problem domain that needs more exploration, there's nothing wrong with forging ahead. If nobody ever did that we'd still be using COBOL.
