Hi, I'm Yeongjae Jeon (aka LunaStev), an independent developer and the creator of Wave—a new programming language designed to unify systems programming, web development, OS creation, and everything in between into one ridiculously powerful toolchain.

Wave dares to challenge C and Assembly, while actually being nice to use. With it, I'm also building Whale (a modular compiler toolchain) and Vex (a cross-platform package manager that says no to JSON and yes to WSON).

I’m doing all of this alone, from scratch, powered by coffee, stubbornness, and an unhealthy obsession with programming languages.

Your sponsorship helps keep me alive, caffeinated, and coding like a man possessed.
Join me in shaping the future of programming—from bootloaders to browser apps—with Wave.
Let’s make C look like a sweet summer child.

@LunaStev

My goal is to reach $4,000/month, which would let me fully dedicate my life (and sanity) to developing the Wave programming language and its growing ecosystem—Whale, Vex, and WSON. With that support, I won’t need a full-time job (or to survive on instant noodles), and I can focus entirely on building ridiculously powerful tools for systems programming. Also, maybe… just maybe… I can save up enough to own a home before I turn into a compiler myself. Your support doesn’t just help me—it helps indie innovation thrive in a world full of bloated tech stacks.
