Release Tick v1.0 · xyzzyapps/tick

Tick v1.0 — Initial Release 💎

Tick is a strict, zero-filler synthesis of Smalltalk’s pure object-oriented message passing and Tcl’s command-token structure.

🤖 Built with Gemini — Designed and crafted in collaboration with Google Gemini.

Pure Object-Oriented Messaging: Everything is an object; all computation is message dispatch with zero unboxed primitives.
Zero-Filler Syntax: Clean command tokens without decorative punctuation or trailing periods.
Fluent Pipelines & Cascades: Ruby-style pipe (|) and Smalltalk-style comma cascades (,).
Protothreads & Coroutines: First-class cooperative coroutines with 2-way value exchange (Protothreads in C, Channels in Go).
Foreign Function Interface (FFI): @ sigilled host functions, math constants, system calls, and dynamic DLL calls (@call).
WebAssembly Playground: Run Tick directly in your browser with zero install at https://xyzzyapps.github.io/tick/.
Dual Reference Implementations: Fully feature-complete in both C99 and Go.

All binaries are standalone, statically linked, and have zero external runtime dependencies.
