What I love most about your project is the super clean Makefile (https://github.com/imtomt/ymawky/blob/main/Makefile). It is a great template to jump start an ARM64 assembly project.

I made a self documented (all the related links are in the file) single makefile (https://gist.github.com/ontouchstart/d3ad8e4d0adf63532303a90...) so that anyone can build ymawky from scratch and dig deeper by tinkering.

The reason I wrote that compact makefile is that I am at the beginning of a long journey to study the coding style of ngnk (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=ngnk).

I can see the potential of doing some implementation of APL/J/K at levels even lower than C, like how those guys did APL\360 using assembly language. It is going to be super fun in the era of everyone using LLM to pump out verbose Python/TS/Rust code with context windows bigger than the whole operating system.
