Documentation status

Stable

Self-hosted compiler, LLVM 23 backend, UMS projects, native tasks, and typed channels

Experimental

AIF policy, automatic layout choices, regions, and advanced memory optimization

Planned

Async I/O, networking, regex, JSON, user atomics, explicit SIMD, and registry solving

Learning path

From zero to owned data.

A short route from checkout to a tested compiler change.

  1. 01Build the local compilerUse UMS host routing, staged promotion, and an explicit test generation.
  2. 02Trace one change end to endCarry behavior through the frontend, semantics, AIF, LLVM, runtime, tests, and docs.

Canonical reference

AIF and memory

Allocation tiers, facts, regions, views, layout, reuse, reports, and verification.

LLVM backend
