Now having completed new feature capacity to handle complex data structures like Umbra Strings, the compiler is long overdue for some housekeeping. The feature set will therefore be frozen for a while to spend some time on compiler internals.
- breaking compiler into independent compilation units with unit tests
- improving performance with high-level and low-level optimizations
- rewrite compiler internals in LSTS (focus on how things should be, rather than how things are)
- some of the internal APIs can be stabilized, just written with a different syntax
- Language Standard v1.0
- Linear Garbage Collection
- Representation Selection for Closures with auto GC
- Correctness Proofs with Coq (100% verifiable semantics)
