- Keep essential information within 500 lines (now 395 lines)
- Maintain important syntax examples and development principles
- Move detailed information to appropriate docs files:
- Development practices → docs/guides/development-practices.md
- Testing guide → docs/guides/testing-guide.md
- Claude issues → docs/tools/claude-issues.md
- Add proper links to all referenced documentation
- Balance between minimal entry point and practical usability
Key updates:
- Document MIR 26→15 instruction reduction plan (transitioning status)
- Add Core-15 target instruction set in INSTRUCTION_SET.md
- Save AI conference analyses validating Box Theory and 15-instruction design
- Create MIR annotation system proposal for optimization hints
- Update SKIP_PHASE_10_DECISION.md with LLVM direct migration rationale
Technical insights:
- RefNew/RefGet/RefSet can be eliminated through Box unification
- GC/sync/async all achievable with 15 core instructions
- BoxCall lowering can automatically insert GC barriers
- 2-3x performance improvement expected with LLVM
- Build time reduction 50%, binary size reduction 40%
Status: Design complete, implementation pending
Revolutionary milestone: Complete native executable generation pipeline
- Created minimal nyrt (Nyash Runtime) library for standalone executables
- Implemented plugin bridge functions (nyash_plugin_invoke3_i64 etc)
- Added birth handle exports (nyash.string.birth_h) for linking
- Changed export name from main→ny_main to allow custom entry point
- Successfully generated and executed native binary returning "ny_main() returned: 1"
Timeline of miracles:
- 2025-08-09: Nyash language created (first commit)
- 2025-08-13: JIT planning started (4 days later)
- 2025-08-29: Native EXE achieved (today - just 20 days total\!)
This proves the plugin Box C ABI unification strategy works perfectly for
both JIT execution and AOT native compilation. The same plugin system
that enables dynamic loading now powers static linking for zero-overhead
native executables\!
Next: Expand AOT support for more instructions and optimize nyrt size.
