ZPE turns 10!

Ten years ago today, in May 2015, I rebuilt ZPE from the ground up, developing a parser that still powers it today. That parser, the Zenith Parsing Engine, completely changed ZPE and made it possible to create large programs that didn't experience slowdown. It also allowed me to develop more complex constructs and statements and build in backtracking, a once fundamental step in ZPE as a program. 

It was also the day I introduced the YASS language (known back then as Zenlang). 

ZPE 1.3 was the foundation of what ZPE is today. It completely changed ZPE. It's incredible to think how far it's come, and it's also amazing to believe that it's been a project for ten years!

I also intentionally timed it so that the next version of ZPE would be released today. So, ZPE 1.13.7 was also released today. This is an anniversary edition since it marks the ten-year anniversary.

You may also notice that I pushed a few more versions this year to try and get to 13.7 for this release, and that's because my birthday is 13-7-1991, so I wanted that to coincide with this release.
