"Soon": Tail call optimization Fix Array and Worker memory leaks Needed for compiler to be self-hosting: Finish implementation of String Finish implementation of List Add support for List literals in compiler Implement Dictionary Implement File Add support for implicit conversions Tweak extendlib to work with language changes introduced with compiler Tweak compiler to work with language changes introduced with compiler Needed for web site to work in compiler: Pretty much everything needed for the compiler to be self-hosting Implement Net Connection (or whatever the TCP connection type gets called) Add support for multi-threaded execution in runtime (not strictly needed) Add support for global stores to compiler/runtime Tweak site to work with language changes introduced with compiler Other Stuff: Add varargs and/or optional arguments Add sugar to be able to call a variable without having to do "[var]Call[...]" Implement "Call" on container types so you can do things like "somelist[2]" and also uses containers as if they were workers (pass them to Fold, Map, etc.). Call implementation should use varargs to allow some kind of slice notation or fetching multiple values depending on type. Support list literals that contain non-literals e.g. (1,foo,[bar]+[4]) Add Javascript backend Add x86_64 backend (or maybe LLVM backend?) Support construction of new workers at runtime Get a REPL working on the new stack Flesh out ideas for having limited I/O within transactions Add module system Exception support
