Awesome project!

> When I find a bug in this compiler, I go back to the original commit that introduced the bug and rewrite the commit history as if there were no such bug from the beginning. This is an unusual way of fixing bugs, but as a a part of a book, it is important to keep every commit bug-free.

Ooo la la! "Chibicc Vol. II, The Bugs" !?

In all seriousness, a book about the bugs would be (IMO) even more fun to read than the compiler book.



Relevant: Knuth's paper "The Errors of TeX"

I would read that book.
