VenusScript v0.2-beta

🌌 VenusScript v0.2.0 - The Ecosystem Foundation

Created by FireInc.

We are incredibly proud to announce the release of VenusScript v0.2.0. This update marks a monumental step in the evolution of our compiler architecture, transforming VenusScript from a conceptual language into a robust, high-performance ecosystem ready to power the next generation of FireInc products.

In this release, we have completely stabilized the core AST engine, vastly expanded the standard library to C-level functionality, and introduced a unified, standalone installer.

✨ Key Highlights

1. Absolute Homoiconicity & Zero-Cost Mutation

We have perfected the VenusVariable AST traversal engine.

• Dot-Notation Mutation: You can now directly mutate vector components and object properties using strict dot-notation (testPos.x: 150.5) with zero runtime overhead.
• Unified Engine: Control flow structures, classes, and primitives are evaluated natively directly on the AST, eliminating the need for a bloated Bytecode VM.

2. Massive Standard Library (std.vs)

VenusScript now ships with a fully fleshed-out, zero-cost standard library powered by our internal @native Rust bridge closures.

• std.math: Full suite of mathematical operations (sin, cos, tan, pow, sqrt, min, max, floor, etc.).
• std.system: OS-level interaction tools including time() (Unix epoch), sleep(ms), and type_of(obj).
• std.file: Built-in disk I/O capabilities for Horizon Workspace (read_text, write_text, exists).

3. Smart Primitives

Built-in types now natively support highly optimized intrinsic methods:

• Strings: len(), upper(), lower(), contains(), replace().
• Arrays: len(), push(), pop(), clear(), remove().

4. Seamless Windows Installer

We have introduced a standalone, single-file installer (VenusScript_Installer.exe). Built with Rust, it automatically extracts the vscript compiler and elegantly adds it to your system PATH. No manual configuration is required.

📖 Deep Documentation

We have completely rewritten our documentation. The repository now features "The Book of VenusScript" (Language_Spec.md), which comprehensively details the architecture, memory management, and syntax philosophy designed by FireInc.

📦 Installation Instructions

1. Download the VenusScript_Installer.exe from the Assets below.
2. Double-click the installer to automatically configure the compiler.
3. Open a new terminal and run vscript --version to verify.
