v0.4.0

WAT/WASM Code Generation

  • New WATCodeGenerator compiles the multilingual AST directly to WebAssembly Text (WAT).
  • Browser playground shows the generated WAT and executes it via wabt.js + native WebAssembly.instantiate().
  • Playground also shows the generated Rust/Wasmtime bridge scaffold for local compilation.
  • Regression tests validate WAT output across all 17 languages (tests/complete_features_wat_test.py).

WASM Backend

  • WebAssembly compilation target with performance gains on compute-intensive operations.
  • Python ↔ WASM bridge for type conversion and memory management.
  • Smart backend selector for auto-detection and transparent fallback to Python.
  • 25+ pure Python fallback implementations for guaranteed cross-platform compatibility.
  • 20 multilingual WASM corpus projects in 4 languages each.
  • Documentation suite: WASM architecture overview, installation guides, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and FAQ.

REPL Code-View Commands

  • :wat (:wasm) — toggle display of generated WAT before execution.
  • :rust (:wasmtime) — toggle display of generated Rust/Wasmtime bridge code before execution.
  • --show-wat and --show-rust startup flags for the repl subcommand mirror the interactive toggles.
  • Extends the existing :python / --show-python pattern uniformly across all three backends.

Python 3.12 Feature Completion

  • All 17 complete_features_XX.ml example files now cover the full Python 3.12 feature checklist: numeric literals, augmented and bitwise assignments, chained assignment, type annotations, ternary expressions, default/variadic parameters, lambdas, list/dict/generator/nested/filtered comprehensions, try/except/else, exception chaining, multiple handlers, match/case/default, decorators, multiple inheritance, static/class methods, properties, and docstrings.
  • Keyword-variable name clashes (Spanish y = AND, Danish/Swedish i = IN) resolved in example files.

Quality and Fixes

  • Fixed broken relative links (../CHANGELOG.md, ../USAGE.md, ../examples/README.md) in docs/reference.md and docs/fr/programmation.md.
  • CLI multilingual run <file>.ml correctly handles .ml file execution.
  • New tests: language_completeness_cli_test.py, operators_cli_test.py.
  • 1671 tests passing, 2 skipped (WASM Rust compile requires rustc wasm32 target).
