No statics, no globals, and no exceptions to the object model. It’s built to run efficiently across platforms using a custom virtual machine, with optional native compilation for extra speed and portability. Kora’s design focuses on a pure object model, consistent message passing, and dynamic flexibility, all while keeping real-world use in mind. \n\n\u003e **Note:** As I’m currently working on this solo, development might be slow, but I’m focused on prioritizing quality over speed.  \n\u003e -\u003e Contributions welcome \u003c3\n\n---\n\n## Key Features\n\n- **Pure Object Model:** Everything is an object, ensuring a consistent and extensible programming experience.\n- **Cross-Platform VM:** Runs on a lightweight, custom-built virtual machine designed for portability.\n- **Optional Native Compilation:** For performance-critical applications, Kora can compile down to native machine code.\n- **Dynamic \u0026 Flexible:** Supports dynamic message passing and reflection while maintaining high performance.\n- **Minimal Syntax:** Focused on simplicity and expressiveness without sacrificing power.\n\n---\n\n## Roadmap\n\n### Phase 1: Getting the Basics Right  \n- Finalize Kora’s core syntax and how the language looks  \n- Figure out naming rules like how files, modules, and classes should be organized  \n- Decide on the type system and the basics of the object model  \n- Plan out the big picture: compiler, VM, runtime \u0026 how it all fits together  \n- Design the bytecode format and how the VM will run it  \n- Write up a clear language spec to keep everything on track  \n\n\u003e **Note:** Everything beyond this point is highly hypothetical and subject to change as development progresses.\n\n### Phase 2: Building the Core  \n- Write the lexer, parser, and build the AST based on the syntax rules  \n- Create the compiler to turn source code into bytecode  \n- Build a simple stack-based VM to run that bytecode  \n- Add primitive types with boxing/unboxing to keep things efficient  \n- Get basic memory management going (like ref counting or simple GC)  \n- Set up a REPL and a small standard library to play with  \n\n### Phase 3: Making It Faster \u0026 Friendlier  \n- Speed up the VM and improve error messages  \n- Look into adding JIT or native compilation for extra performance  \n- Grow the standard library and add tools like a package manager and formatter  \n- Make sure it builds smoothly on different platforms and set up continuous testing  \n\n### Phase 4: Adding the Cool Stuff  \n- Add support for concurrency and async programming  \n- Improve the garbage collector to be smarter and faster  \n- Build meta-programming and reflection features  \n- Create a Foreign Function Interface (FFI) so Kora can talk to C, Rust, etc.  \n- Work on IDE support and language server integration  \n\n---\n\n## Getting Started\n\n*Instructions for building, running, and contributing will be added soon.*\n\n---\n\n## Contributing\n\nKora is an open-source project. Contributions, bug reports, and feature requests are welcome!
