Thanks Amir, and Phil, for the kind words! :)

Yes, very interested in your feedback, Amir. We're trying to keep the
core of did:cel very tight and focused (from a security perspective).
The goal here isn't "how many features can we support?" it is "what is
the smallest feature set that leads to a fully decentralized DID
Method?".

Yes, that would be very helpful. I hope that you will find that
implementing did:cel (especially with AI assistance) should be a 1-2
week task at most. That's by design, to try to minimize the effort and
complexity for developers that want to build the solution into their
environments. Rust and Python libraries would be very much welcome. I
know Filip is working on Java libraries as well.
