Roadmap

Feature Status Details
Basic Mathematical Expressions Complete Supports +, -, *, /, %, and parentheses for grouping.
Numbers Complete Integer types i8–i64, u8–u64, and floats f32/f64.
Logical and Comparison Expressions Complete Logical operators !, &&, || and comparison operators ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=.
Variable Declarations Complete Immutable val x: i32 = 1 and mutable var x: i32 = 0 with type inference.
Type Inference Complete Type is inferred from the initializer: val x = 42 infers i32.
Function Definitions Complete Syntax: fx name(a: i32) i32 {} with full return type support and variadic functions.
Control Flow Complete if/else (including as expressions), while, for, loop, break, and continue.
Structs & Enums Complete Custom data types with struct and enum, field access with ..
FFI / C Interop Complete Call C functions via extern fx declarations. Supports variadic functions like printf.
Pointers & Slices Complete ptr<T> for pointers, slice<T> for memory views, address-of & and dereference *.
LSP Server In Progress Language Server Protocol support for IDE integration (diagnostics, hover, go-to-definition, completion).
Type Aliases Not Started Syntax: type Name = i32.
Number Ranges Not Started Support for range operators .. and ..= for iteration.
Standard Library Not Started Modules std.io, std.mem, and std.string.
Asynchronous Execution Not Started Create and execute asynchronous functions using async and await.
