I've played with the compiler's API before and found it incredibly difficult to work with... and completely undocumented... how did you manage to get through that? Great job!

Thank you! After I got past the initial shock with the javac codebase (it's an unusual design) I came to appreciate it. Given it's age and the number of revisions it has undergone, it holds up pretty well. But, yeah, building Manifold required a bit of determination.
