Roadmap

Goal: a general-purpose compiled language with shorter code, where the compiler fills in sensible defaults — prompt-like readability and one romit tool — growing from tiny scripts and optional spec checks toward full applications, native compilation, and a built-in web UI layer.

1. Stage 1 (current) — Scripts with say, optional spec layer, lexer, parser, checker, tests, mdBook docs, release binaries and install scripts.
2. Stage 2 (started) — Script functions (sum:, fn, function), control flow, operator words, comma rules, lists, decimals, and text interpolation; replay tooling and native compilation still planned. See the Swift feature map.
3. Stage 3 — Entities and machines at full fidelity in the interpreter.
4. Stage 4 — Romit UI: static pages (page) and reactive SwiftUI-style apps shipped (app, state, screen, layout, controls, navigation, tabs, sheets, saved data). See Building apps and SwiftUI → Romit. Next: split views, charts, drag gestures, and native (iOS/Android) output.

Distribution (planned)

• Homebrew tap — third-party or official brew install romitlang/tap/romit once binaries are published; not implemented yet.
• npm wrapper — global npm install -g @romitlang/cli shim that downloads the matching release; not implemented yet.
