     1.9 If we've spoken recently I may have mentioned this new venture I've
    1.10 been working on. Now is the time to elaborate on what I've been up to,
    1.11 and why.

    1.13 keep it that way for quite some time. My intention is to operate at
    1.14 minimal cost while I perform industry research and develop prototypes.
    1.15 
    1.16+To support the company's purpose, I am developing a suite of free and
    1.17+open-source software which is specifically designed for bootstrapping
    1.18+and operating =companies=.
    1.19 
    1.20+** Software
    1.21+
    1.22+The software provided by /The Compiler Company/ is a powerful
    1.23+development environment. It is the catalyst of engineering for every
    1.24+other software component I build and reflects precisely how I believe
    1.25+software should be developed.
    1.26 
    1.27-/The Compiler Company/ provides two things on paper:
    1.28-1. free and open-source software
    1.29-2. professional consulting services
    1.30+As a whole, I optimize for the following features in my environment:
    1.31+- early adoption :: integrate research, protocols, libraries, and
    1.32+  hardware features from leading research orgs faster than anyone else
    1.33+- rapid development :: interaction, code introspection, tooling, and
    1.34+  automation built for prototyping at massive scale
    1.35+- power :: using our environment should feel like cheating - macros,
    1.36+  DSLs, and unmatched hackability
    1.37 
    1.38-The software is made publicly available without restriction and anyone
    1.39-can pay for paid professional consultations/training/etc.
    1.40+*** Languages
    1.41+/The Compiler Company/ is above all, a =Lisp Company=. The most
    1.42+powerful software requires the most powerful language.
    1.43 
    1.44-The /core/ of our software suite is an insanely powerful development
    1.45-environment built from scratch. It is the catalyst of engineering for
    1.46-every other software component I build and reflects how I believe
    1.47-software should be developed /today/.
    1.48+Lisp isn't enough though. =Rust= is our imperative language of choice
    1.49+at the time of writing and generally suited for system-level software
    1.50+components.
    1.51+
    1.52+We make use of the Steel Bank Common Lisp compiler (SBCL) and the
    1.53+nightly Rust compiler toolchain.
    1.54+
    1.55+*** Operating System Support
    1.56+/The Compiler Company/ is a Linux Company. There may be minimal
    1.57+support for Darwin-based systems, but Microsoft Windows systems will
    1.58+never be supported by our software.
    1.59 
    1.60-The suite further contains a mixed bag of plugins, extensions,
    1.61-libraries, and applications intended for software development in
    1.62-addition to /all/ vendored dependencies. This setup gives us complete
    1.63-control over every possible piece of code we encounter in the systems
    1.64-we operate.
    1.65+One of the /anti-goals/ of our software is ~portability~. For all of
    1.66+the features we optimize for, portability becomes a burden, especially
    1.67+with closed-source OS kernels. We are also explicitly driven to reduce
    1.68+consumer dependence on these closed-source systems, especially in a
    1.69+distributed network. They are simply unfit for use with the software
    1.70+we produce.

    1.72+*** Core
    1.73+** Services
    1.74+
    1.75+** Companies
    1.76 * Next Steps
    1.77 We have a long way to go. The important thing is to keep up the
    1.78 momentum. Before the start of 2024 you can expect another update on
