Officially in love with this compiler roadmap for github.com/neverRare/butt:

A roadmap for the Butter programming language, depicted in the form style a retro video game map. A single road snakes from right-to-left, with multiple stops, ending with a causeway leading to a castle in the middle of a lake. A flag is placed on the first stop. The project mascot (a cute yellow bear) is arriving at the second stop. The stops on the road are: parser, Hindley-Milner with row polymorphism and IR, lifetime analysis, refinement types, and finally LLVM. An enormous dragon looms behind the castle.

Who said compilers can't be fun and have cute designs. Pancakes too!

All SW projects that are working towards an MVP should have this, this is so cool. After that I’m not so sure, I don’t think it promotes iterative development 🤔

there's always the opportunity to unlock new worlds (I wish I could have found a gif from SMW where this happens)
