  I was surprised to see PGLang mentioned, but then I read your bio, lol

    Thanks for reading, and tbh thank god PGLang exists because there’s no other way this grid could have worked

      Agreed! To that end, its crossing at 38-A could be clued more generally (or have a secondary clue added to the end to support general accessibility). Great grid! Delete

        Just updated it so that box isn’t as hard to get, thanks for the feedback

  nice! the SE section was pretty hard for me with a lot of proper nouns, but otherwise this puzzle was pretty smooth! i'm impressed at the diagonal themed entries, that probably constrained the grid a lot

    SO much constraint, it took me hours to find four pizza-related phrases that were 9 letters long & all shared the same middle letter. Even when I did, a lot of the arrangements of them didn’t work. I eventually settled for using bars and was forced into a lot of proper nouns in that SE corner

      oh, i didn't even think about the fact that all the phrases share the same middle letter! that's really impressive

    If I could redo the SE area, I’d change it to NARC instead of NORA and GPA instead of GTA. I think I just really wanted to make a “GTA 6” joke

  Nice one! The diagonals are a neat feature for sure, well done!
