There is a roadmap and then, well, there are people! Yes, actual people using Recoil!

And people have requests, like Recoil running on ESP32 board with touchscreen.

I wanted to add cross compilation anyway and getting touchscreen to run is a great test of Recoil's FFI interface.

So once I finish current bunch of compilator improvements, next target is cross-compilation. ESP32, here we go!

0.10.8 is here! Main focus was improving fsm! type (it's now mostly done), changing string! memory model (strings are now heap-allocated reference-counted pointers). There's also extend which allows adding actions for user types, so user defined types support is much better also.
Compiler got some cleanup and optimizations but the main improvement in infrastructure is in RUT (R* Unit Tester) - it can now run multiple tests in parallel. To make this possible, tests are now hashed which is another improvement by itself also.

i've released Recoil v0.1

Recoil is statically typed language with ownership-based memory system and Rebol-derived syntax.

Astrophysicists Measure Black Hole Recoil from Merger Using Gravitational Waves

For the first time, astrophysicists have observed the recoil of a new black hole formed by the merger of two older ones. This groundbreaking discovery, made possible by gravitational waves, sheds light on the dynamics of black hole collisions. The merger event, named GW190412, involved a black hole ... [More info]
