2026-01-11: Work on Horse64 Root's
auto ref counting feature is underway and there's
good progress. This is the last missing feature
before a functional public alpha of Horse64 Root.
A first SDK release is expected in a few weeks.
2025-09-20: Horse64 Root is the new
name of the language previously named Moose64. There
has been a major backend rewrite delaying things,
but it's coming pretty close to a usable alpha
version. Afterward, work on the final Horse64
runtime will begin as initially scheduled.
2024-12-11: The first complex Moose64
programs are now working, a significant milestone
to enable work on future low-level tooling.
This means work on the Horse64 bytecode VM can
begin soon.
2024-05-20: The horsec lexical analysis is
mostly complete, with concurrency transformation and other
backend analysis making good progress. There's now a
sibling language named ”Moose64” that will
later host the low-level tooling like the bytecode VM.
Programs can't be run properly yet.
2023-10-17: The AST parser is nearing completion,
which will enable first more in-depth compiler diagnostics.
Programs can't be run properly yet.
