Determa v0.2-Cedar

Determa v0.2 'Cedar' Release

This is a major milestone release for the Determa programming language. v0.2 'Cedar' introduces a fully functional, Turing-complete execution environment, upgrading the project from a parser prototype to a usable programming language.

✨ Key Features

• Virtual Machine: Custom high-performance stack-based VM with a specific Bytecode ISA.

• Garbage Collection: Implemented a Mark-and-Sweep Garbage Collector for automatic memory management and leak-free string manipulation.

• Type Safety: Semantic analysis pass ensures type consistency and variable scope validity before execution.

• Control Flow: Full support for logic and branching:

• if, elif, else blocks.

• while loops.

• Boolean logic (true, false, !, ==, <, >).

• Strings: Dynamic string allocation and concatenation support.

• Assignment: Variable reassignment and compound operators (+=, -=, *=, /=, %=).

🛠️ Tooling

• Interactive REPL: A persistent Read-Eval-Print Loop for live coding.

• File Execution: Run .det scripts directly from the command line.

• Cross-Platform: Automated builds for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
