Roadmap¶

High-performance bytecode VM: 20+ specialized opcodes for common operations
Compiler optimizations: Peephole optimization, constant deduplication, automatic optimization passes
Fast execution paths: Optimized opcodes for constants (0, 1, true, false, null), loops, string operations
Memory optimizations: Pre-allocated stacks, constant pooling, improved garbage collection
User-defined functions with closures and return statements
Enhanced time library with now(), millis(), sleep()
Property access via dot notation for maps
Advanced pretty printing with stable output
Comprehensive error handling with line/column tracking

Hybrid execution engine: Smart VM/interpreter routing with performance tracking
Loop control flow: break and continue statements with proper scoping
Increment/decrement operators: Pre/post ++ and -- with identifier support
Exception handling: try/catch blocks with error variable binding
Performance optimizations: Ultra-fast loops with sub-150ms execution
Memory improvements: Object pooling and variable reuse patterns
Array and map bracket indexing
Expanded standard library with advanced fmaths module
Modulo operator (%) support
Enhanced identifier support (underscores allowed)
Function expressions: Anonymous functions and lambda support
File extension change: Now uses .dy and .dx extensions
