Bril is a cute intermediate language for teaching (think simplified LLVM IR): https://www.cs.cornell.edu/~asampson/blog/bril.html The idea of providing a standard JSON format to help students write basic passes is really elegant.

Delighted to see that TOML has released a new version! TOML is overall a great standard but I understand they had limited people with the power to cut a new release. https://github.com/toml-lang/toml/releases/tag/1.1.0

Has anyone built a great solution to 'run all my unit tests automatically'? It's straightforward to write a while loop in bash, but handling timeouts, syntax errors etc well is hard. Running on save would be good, although I wonder if you could run fast tests on each keystroke.
