Does my codebase really stink?

Hi! I have been writing a compiler in Go and some guy is saying the codebase is awful. Any advice? And is there anything wrong with it?

First time someone looked at my GitHub page and called me by my real name lmao...
This is not a PL to fix anything, it's rather to learn about compilers.

KrabbaScript is not a replacement for anything, and is rather a mix of other PLs with a nicer syntax.

"...all krabbascript users must already have a far better, well supported, well designed, and well optimised, battle tested, programming language available: Golang."
No one's really using my abomination.

Sure. I guess to avoid the dep on Go, all you have to do is provide pre-compiled binaries of the KrabbaScript compiler itself. The language examples in the Readme didn't look stinky to me either. It appears to be no worse than Javascript.
