Right, and that probably should have been the link rather than some in-process thoughts about popcount or w/e. Sorry for not figuring it out and clicking around effectively.
I do have a whole bunch of articles about the project on my website, going trough the entire journey of the project, from its start as a Rust to .NET compiler, to the current state.

I should have probably linked the previous articles in this one - I'll add that to my website. I'll also look into adding some more context to the articles next time.
Thanks for the feedback :)
