That's cool. I wonder how you manage to keep track of everything with this huge all-in-one main.c. Do you plan to achieve 100%? Is there a list of what is actually missing and which relevant projects depend on the missing parts? What are the core benefits compared to e.g. ECL or CLISP?
To me it's not different from having multiple files, on the contrary it's even easier to do search and replace

Yes!

Yes, a partial list is in "Known bugs and limitations" in NOTES.

Well, the code base is smaller and (arguably) easier to read. Building is easier. There's a debugger with stepping, very easy to use
