Yes, if I was further along I would have liked to demo what I have. Unfortunately it's taking me a long time to bootstrap the system. I've been working fairly diligently on it for about 6 months but I feel like I'm only about halfway to getting it bootstrapped. > I would like to make Ocean self-hosting, and I think the fastest way > to do that would be to implement it using jolt3's codegen (once it > lands).

My work is based on "jolt1" which I feel is fairly powerful considering the LOC used; I'm hoping that I can implement my language in about 5000 lines of code (probably excluding some runtime code).
