    1.10-and why.

    1.12+
    1.13+My name is Richard. I'm a 29yo, US-based computer programmer and today
    1.14+marks the birth of my first company: /The Compiler Company/.
    1.15+
    1.16 
    1.17 * The Compiler Company
    1.18-The name is a play on the phrase /Compiler Collection/, as in [[https://gcc.gnu.org/][GNU
    1.19-Compiler Collection (GCC)]] and emphasizes my approach to
    1.20-problem-solving involving compiler technologies.
    1.21+I intend for /The Compiler Company/ to be a hub for developing various
    1.22+interconnected products and services based on cutting-edge software
    1.23+and research.
    1.24 
    1.25-I recently registered as an LLC, but the purpose of the company is
    1.26-that of a company incubator, or /company compiler/ if you will. In
    1.27-other words, I intend for /The Compiler Company, LLC/ to be a hub for
    1.28-developing various interconnected products and services which can be
    1.29-operated and managed independently of each other.

    1.31-I (Richard Westhaver) am the sole owner and operator and will probably
    1.32-keep it that way for quite some time. My intention is to operate at
    1.33-minimal cost while I perform industry research and develop prototypes.
    1.34-
    1.35-To support the company's purpose, I am developing a suite of free and
    1.36-open-source software which is specifically designed for bootstrapping
    1.37-and operating =companies=.

    1.42 ** Software
    1.43 
    1.44-The software provided by /The Compiler Company/ is a powerful
    1.45-development environment. It is the catalyst of engineering for every
    1.46-other software component I build and reflects precisely how I believe
    1.47-software should be developed.
    1.48+The software provided by /The Compiler Company/ is a powerful but
    1.49+opinionated programming environment. It consists of a GNU/Linux
    1.50+kernel, some vendored programs and libraries, and a suite of custom
    1.51+software.

    1.55+components to embed in your own projects and you are encouraged to
    1.56+modify any part of the system to meet your goals.

    1.58+In general, our software is designed for:
    1.59 - early adoption :: integrate research, protocols, libraries, and
    1.60   hardware features from leading research orgs faster than anyone else
