       | I know the author quite well. It all started with him following
       | "Let's Build A Simple Interpreter. Part 1." from Ruslan's blog
       | (https://ruslanspivak.com/lsbasi-part1/) where you are creating
       | an interpreter for a pascal like language.
       | 
       | He then decided to spit out some c64 assembler, and it has been a
       | pretty cool journey after that :D

         | This is really exciting for me - just looking at the videos
         | made me smile with nostalgia of sitting over a printed copy of
         | Rolf Brown's Interrupt List[0] (sorry, Mom and Dad for using so
         | much paper) and just trying random interrupts to see what they
         | did. Once in a while I'd even find something interesting.
         | 
         | I hope this can bring some of the same wonder of
         | experimentation without immediately searching on StackOverflow.

       | Also it seems possible to create independent code at some extent
       | at least.
