Thank you so much for the feedback. I'm somewhat new to writing 
documentation. Those copyright texts were actually written by me 
for myself - I've already removed them in newer versions since 
users are using the language, and for future versions, I won't 
include any binaries and will focus on source compilation instead.

I used AI for writing articles because I'm not very good at 
writing articles myself. From now on, I'll try to write 
everything myself.
  Yes, I wrote "18" on GitHub because I didn't want people to 
think I'm just a kid or a student building something trivial. 
I've corrected this to my actual age (17).
I'm still learning and appreciate the guidance. The project is 
genuine - I'm just inexperienced with open-source practices. 
Thank you for your explanations and help.
