Introduction 📰
We've had some engineers on annual leave leading into the Christmas holidays, while the rest of the staff are working hard on features and bug fixes:
- Some improvements have landed for traits for next release, including having a dynamic vector inside a dynamic vector.
- There have been improvements to the modular CLI and infrastructure to improve download size and speed, which will be coming soon.
- Some problems were introduced to the REPL and Jupyter environment since the introduction of traits, which we're working on fixes for.
- Debugging continues to improve. It's still a preview feature in the current release, but some features you may have seen at ModCon like inlay debug hints will be coming soon.
We also now have a dedicated team for the stdlib, previously it was maintained by a small group of compiler engineers to enable the MAX engine. It'll now get the love and attention it deserves 🔥.
