Roadmap

  • Lexer
  • Parser
  • Simple Interpreter
  • REPL
  • Super basic standard library
  • Virtual Machine with bytecode
  • Low pause GC
  • AOT compilation (via Rust as IR)
  • Basic concurrency via Fiber (aka stackful coroutines)
  • Advanced concurrency (structured concurrency)
  • Runtime optimizations
  • Standard library, tailored for network applications
  • Find a better name
  • Easy modal execution (REPL(interpreter), VM, AOT)
  • Basic runtime optimizations (TCO, DCE)
  • Friendly error messages

Intro

// Bindings
let a = 10;
let b = 20;
let c = a + b;

// Strings
let create_greeting = fn(str, str') { str + str' };
let greeting = create_greeting("Hello, ", "Raventid");

// Higher order functions
let build_adder = fn(val) { fun(arg) { arg + val } };
let add2 = build_adder(2);
