You're right, it is a lot of effort! I made myself a promise that I wouldn't sprint through the first couple and then fall off a cliff on the rest. That's been a failing of mine in the past.

Progress is currently regular-ish because I've already implemented this stuff before I started writing. Once we get to labels and label calls, though, there very well could be a significant slowdown. I haven't figured out how to do that properly!

I'm glad you like the series and I'm very flattered that you posted it.
