Pleasantly surprised to see Predrag show up as a reviewer, but at the same time not at all surprised:
- The [Firebase technical screen](https://startupandrew.com/posts/how-firebase-interviewed-sof...) would have been much easier with something like this, as it was Just Another Optimization Problem™. Part of me wants to try it again with Picat!
- He's doing other very interesting things with programming languages, e.g.: https://github.com/obi1kenobi/trustfall

As for the Community/Enterprise split - we want to continue the open source project, but we need to eat too :)
