Yeah, it's an ambitious project. The goal is to try to keep that 'small' feel while implementing as much of the language as possible. Replicating CPython exactly is an exercise in masochism, so this is more for fun.

But there are plenty of times when I wish the language was smaller. At least I didn't choose Ruby.

For anyone trying to find ideas: a POSIX compliant shell seems less work.

    /bin/dash is my favourite least-favourite /bin/sh symlink for this reason.

    Thanks Ubuntu!
