I would be delighted to help you (or anyone else!) navigate Hadrian source code. Please feel free to get in touch directly.

(Alas, in the last couple of years I couldn’t contribute to improving Hadrian but that’s not for the lack of desire – just due to some life changes. Hopefully I can at least help by helping others!)

Cheers,

Andrey
