Important

Occult 2.0.0-alpha is going to be released during summer to early fall of 2025.
Keep the wonder alive, and never lose the spark!

Roadmap for 2.0.0-alpha

• • Lexer
• • Parser
• • Backend (Not fully finished / In progress)
  • • Stack-based IR
  • • x86 JIT Runtime
  • • IR Translation -> x86 JIT

Things left to do before release & alpha-testing

• • If statements
• • Loop statements
• • Continue statement
• • Break statement
• • While loops
• • For loops (foreach will be done when arrays are added)
• • Floating point variables (Minimal so far)
• • String variables (immutable)
• • Arrays (add arrays access)
• • Pointers
• • Reworking of x86_64 runtime (Migration in progress)
• • Translation from Stack IR to an encoded Register Bytecode for easier translation into machine code

Things planned

• Static Analysis
• An intermediate in between stack IR and register bytecode, in TAC form for further optimisation later on
• Windows support
