Roadmap

v0.1.0 — Core VM ✅

• KV path-addressed instruction model ([i,0] opcode, [i,-j] reads, [i,+j] writes)
• typed values: int, float, bool, string, bytes, tensor
• builtin operators: arith, compare, logic, bitwise, cast, call, string, I/O
• single-layer IR — same syntax is VM instruction, high-level language, and compiler IR
• control flow: if/else, while (break/continue), for-in
• lower pass: if/while → block + br/goto
• TCO (tail-call optimization) for deep recursion
• multi-return values + discard (_)
• vthread coroutine model with concurrent workers
• soft links (path redirection)
• serve daemon with Redis persistence
• pipe / inline (-c) / file execution modes
• kvspace CLI: get, set, del, list, tree, clear, watch, notify
• vet (syntax check) + format (source formatter)
• 87 tutorial examples: basics, functions, control flow, algorithms, LeetCode
• CI: build (Linux + macOS), tutorial tests (Redis), cross-compile releases

v0.2.0 — Tensor & Distributed

Tensor & GPU

• tensor lifecycle ops: tensor.new / tensor.del / tensor.clone (heap-plat backed)
• tensor compute dispatch via kvspace op-plat routing
• kvspace-cpp client library for C++ backends (✅ created)
• GPU tensor ops (Triton / CUDA integration)

Distributed

• multi-node vthread scheduling
• kvspace sharding
• RDMA backend for kvspace
• cluster mode (kvlang serve --cluster)

Future

• self-hosting compiler (kvlang → kvlang)
• WASM compile target
• foreign function interface (FFI)
• benchmarking suite
• playground / online demo (maybe never)
• improved error messages with source locations (maybe never)
• go install support (maybe never)
• package manager (maybe never)
• standard library: http, json, file I/O (maybe never)
