Thanks for the kind words. Well, I was a student and needed to practice the related lesson, "Languages and Automata", before the final exam. So I implemented the algorithms of the lesson and used Graphviz to render the result. The thing worked in a browser but ran on the server (using D!). I figured my fellow students or the teacher may find it useful, so I sent the link to the teacher (in a post-scriptum of a very long mail in which I was asking for help, ah ah). "Your tool seems really interesting, what about you continue developing this during an internship this summer?" Hell, yes. And Aude started. Since then, I was lucky to mentor several interns to work on Aude with this teacher.

That is very cool and I'll bet having a steady flow of later cohorts of students helped a ton!

  I would not say a steady flow, there were two to three students two months per summer these last three years, but they helped a lot anyway indeed :-) And it was fun to work with them. The first "cohort" of three students called themselves the Aude Team and they put that in their internship report.
