The current state is "on backburner by lack of time". Projects like https://grenouillebouillie.wordpress.com/2022/03/07/a-theory... and https://github.com/c3d/DB48X-on-DM42/tree/stable have been consuming most of my spare time cycles.

Here are factors playing a role in my current thinking:

1/ the LLVM debacle. I just can't follow them changing the APIs all the time. I gave up on LLVM for now.

2/ Rust being the first language introducing a concept that was not trivial to introduce via an XL library, lifetimes. I think that I nailed a design now, but it annoyed me for a while, and the design is not implemented.

3/ I spent some time documenting where I wanted to go, notably the type system. As a result, I found that the language was becoming complicated, which annoys me. I'm trying to get back to super-simple roots, but I have no clear path towards this goal yet.

4/ I want to to unify the self-compiling compiler and the dynamic one. The self-compiler only compiles an older dialect of the language.

Sounds great, I hope you find a way to resolve those! I will play around with the current version for now, it's been a while since I encountered a new interesting language.
