🗺️ Project Roadmap

Mech v0.2 is currecntly beta status, meaning most intended features are implemented, but there are still rough edges and a general lack of documentation. Development is focused on testing and documentation.

A Brief Roadmap:

• ☑️ v0.1 - proof of concept system - minimum viable language implementation
• 📍 v0.2 - data specification - formulas, defining and manipulating data
• v0.3 - program specification - functions, modules, state machines
• v0.4 - system specification - tools, distributed programs, capabilities

For more details, read the ROADMAP.

A new version of Mech is released every week.

🐲 Notice

Mech should be considered unstable and therefore unfit for use in critical systems until v1.0 is released.
