# Javon

**A modern, native-speed programming language with Java-like syntax.**  

Javon is a long-term project for developers who love **Java’s familiar syntax** but want **native performance, safety, and expressiveness**. Our goal is to create a language that is fast, modern, and shaped by the community from the ground up.

---

## Vision

- Combine **Java-like readability** with **native execution speed**.  

- Provide a **safe, modern programming model** for high-performance applications.  

- Build a **community-driven language** that evolves over time.  

---

## Roadmap

**Phase 1 – Language Design (Now)**  

- Define core syntax and minimal working features.  

- Decide on memory model and runtime approach.  

- Gather ideas and feedback from early contributors.  

**Phase 2 – Prototype Compiler / Interpreter**  

- Implement basic parser and AST for core syntax.  

- Compile simple programs to native code.  

- Build an initial test suite for language features.  

**Phase 3 – Standard Library & Tooling**  

- Minimal standard library: collections, strings, basic I/O.  

- CLI compiler tool for developers to run simple programs.  

**Phase 4 – Community Expansion**  

- Open contribution guidelines.  

- Develop libraries and modules collaboratively.  

**Phase 5 – Advanced Features**  

- Generics, advanced type checking, optimizations.  

- IDE integrations and debugging tools.  

---

## How to Contribute

- **Ideas & Feedback:** Suggest language features, syntax changes, or runtime improvements.  

- **Prototyping:** Help implement parsers, AST, or small experiments.  

- **Documentation:** Improve design documents and roadmap clarity.  

*Even small contributions—ideas, experiments, or documentation—can shape the future of Javon.*
