Roadmap #155
Description
Here is a roadmap that we can follow:
- Finish runtime library like
comptime_eval.hin LFortran - Be able to call a function like
lpython_str_formatthat is our own LPython implementation of the%formatting operator, this function will be inserted by the frontend (tested by Implement real and imag for complex #256, which calls_lpython_imag) - Implement the rest of
strfunctionality (mostly in the LLVM backend) and fix all bugs related to strings (the remaining bug seems to be Fix string indexing #273) - C interop (Implement calling into C #3)
- Generic functions (Figure out how to handle generic functions #141)
- NumPy support (How to declare a local array #5)
This should allow us to implement large parts of the runtime library, and get LPython off the ground. After the above works, the other missing features that we need to implement are:
- Generics (Implement generics #154)
- Interactivity (Interactivity #329)
Other (lower priority):
- Improvements to C interop: Roadmap for the C backend user experience #545

Sorry, the unpinning happened by mistake. For a moment it seemed that it was a popup/notification, but later I realized that it was a pinned issue.
I will take care next time.

I'll use this issue to link to issues of high priority:
We'll figure out a detailed roadmap. Until then, feel free to work towards any of the issues here.
