We are currently in Phase 3 of the implementation roadmap, having completed the prototype implementation (Phase 2) and made significant progress on tooling and infrastructure. We have implemented the command-line interpreter/compiler, language server for IDE integration, and debugger. We are now focusing on developing a package manager and documentation generator.
- Develop package manager
- Create documentation generator
- Begin work on Phase 4: Standard Library Development
