Occult 2.0.0-alpha is going to be released on the second birthday (05/31/25), maybe earlier

Stay tuned!

Roadmap for 2.0.0-alpha

• • Lexer
• • Parser
• • Backend (Not fully finished / In progress)
  • • Stack-based IR
  • • x86 JIT Runtime
  • • IR Translation -> x86 JIT
  • • Windows Support

Notes about the roadmap

• IR/IL + Translation
  • Stack-based IR, works with translation to native JIT x86_64
• x86 JIT Runtime
  • Isn't fully finished for the full functionality either, needs polishing

Things left to do before testing

• • If statements
• • Loop statements
• • Continue statement
• • Break statement
• • While loops
• • For loops
• • Floating point variables
• • String variables (immutable)

Things planned

• Arrays
• Pointers
• Match statement
• Static Analysis
• An intermediate in between bytecode and AST, in TAC form for further optimisation later on
