Hassium Version 4.0.0
New
Once again, Hassium has been rewritten from scratch and changed from the core. The compiler and runtime environment are more efficient and capable of delivering the programmer a high-quality development experience. Some of the major changes to the language include a switch in naming conventions for functions and locals to an all lowercase and shortened format, similar to Python, as well as a sane type system and a more functional try catch implementation.
Fixed
Numerous bugs from Hassium V3.X have been fixed, such as empty stack exceptions, is operator failures, and a typing system that required the user to be in the context of the type.
