Thanks for the update Carter. I'll root for you. one point to make. The interface and the performance don't have to appear at once. The interface will be the longer lived portion. So sort that out, and you can focus on performance as problems crop up. I know it's horribly boring to say, but getting those first few customers gets you into a virtuous cycle. Given that you're bootstrapped, even a few customers will get you in a very good place, where you can spend on development. I remember us (or rather I) talking about Mathematica. When it first came out it was horrible for numerics. Truly terrible. But it was easy to transfer technical papers to. You simply wrote down what was on the paper, and you were done. So people used it, and eventually performance got better over time as they invested in it.
