Sponsor Krypton

Krypton is built by one person (hi, I'm Brian). Sponsorship keeps it shipping, keeps it free, and funds the long-arc pieces — WASM backend, course material, hosting.

What sponsorship funds

WASM backend

kcc --wasm: Krypton compiles to WebAssembly so .k programs run in the browser, on Cloudflare Workers, in wasmtime. The most-requested feature; weeks of work.

Hosting + infra

krypton-lang.org, the FTP/SSL renewals, the Homebrew taps, the WinSetup signing certs. Real recurring cost.

Lesson runner v2

Replacing the JS bridge with a real WASM-backed runtime so the in-browser "Run" button runs actual Krypton.

Stdlib expansion

SSE for live updates. Session middleware. multipart/form-data parsing. Real datetime arithmetic.

Documentation

Per-builtin reference docs, a published spec PDF, design notes for every stdlib module.

Course writing time

"Building a Self-Hosting Compiler" book: 12 chapters, 250 pages. Sponsorship buys writing hours.
