I'm glad you brought up Sean Barrett's work since the ZPL codebase references it so STB was likely a source of influence for Dominik. It's one of those projects where I just see its impact everywhere I look and I believe the success is well-deserved.

Oh hey, you made APE and redbean! Very cool projects, and something I always wondered if it was possible (I once tried a different strategy, failed, and then never tried again). I was very pleased to see someone had succeeded.

Thanks! I talked with one other person so far who discovered the idea before me. I'm glad I was able to contribute running the marathon it required. All we need to do now is make it simple and universally accessible to everyone who needs it.
