Donation
I have dedicated a significant amount of time and effort into developing the FAST. If you find my work beneficial and would like to show your appreciation, you may consider making a donation here.
Thanks a lot to all the beta testers of FAST. Without their feedback and help, it would have been impossible to make FAST a stable compiler.
