Strut 0.0.1

Strut 0.0.1

Strut 0.0.1 is the first packaged compiler release. It establishes the current
pre-1.0 language and toolchain baseline across Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Highlights

• Executables use function main() -> int or
  function main(string cmd, string[] args) -> int; the returned value becomes
  the process exit status, cmd receives native argv[0], and args contains
  only user-supplied arguments.
• Dynamic arrays (T[]) are a core language facility and no longer require
  include <vector>;; vector<T> remains available as a compatibility spelling.
• Filesystem copy, move, and remove operations accept compatible iterable
  path collections. Pairwise copy/move mappings require ordered collections and
  equal lengths.
• Safe owning pointers use T* owner := new(...); raw pointer extraction is an
  explicit unsafe operation written ptr<T> raw := ptr(owner).
• Typed and inferred lambdas compose with generic functions, containers, async
  work, and operator definitions.
• Nested generic types are parsed and canonicalized recursively, including safe
  pointer and reference types inside generic containers.
• Cross-feature runtime behavior is more reliable across collections, JSON,
  filesystem, processes, networking, concurrency, FFI, and SQLite workloads.
• Diagnostics, source spans, formatting, and documentation were tightened around
  the supported language contract.
• Regression cases run in isolation, preventing one failure from hiding or
  contaminating another.
• Generated C++ is certified with strict warnings under GCC, Clang/AppleClang,
  and MSVC, with dogfood programs exercised on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Strut remains pre-1.0. See COMPATIBILITY.md for the compatibility policy and
BUILDING.md for source and installed-layout instructions.
