I think it is fantastic to have more compiler implementations. It was probably also a fun project to code. What I find lacking in web pages is a motivation. What makes it different from popular compilers? Where is this project heading? What would be potential benefits/use-cases for using this compiler vs others, lessons learned, etc.?

Those sections don't really provide details on the author's motivations to be honest

It's amazing how much one motivated person can achieve. Also, how competent the result seems to be. The test suite alone is pretty impressive.
