The Little Language That Couldn't

qdbp's compiler needs a lot of work. It is currently capable enough to demonstrate the vision but not enough to be usable in the real world. Generated code is wildly inefficient and can be a little bit buggy, error messages are often unusable, the language lacks sufficient documentation, and there is no syntax highlighting or autocomplete. The immediate roadmap consists of

• Fixing bugs and writing tests for all the phases of the compiler and runtime

• Developing a better compiler interface

• Finalizing language decisions

• Implementing a standard library

• Making better error messages

• Basic syntax highlighting

The above should keep our hands full for a bit. Once that is finished, the following will all be added

• Language Server Protocol

• Unicode support for strings and for program source

• Auto-Formatter

• REPL

• Debugger

• Concurrency

• Self-hosted compiler

• Static and dynamic memory checks for external(non-qdbp) functions

• Advanced optimizations(TRMC, More advanced Perceus analysis)

• Incremental compilation

As a general rule, we are working on compiler functionality before tooling. Thank you for bearing with us as the compiler and ecosystem develops.
