A major milestone! The Silcia compiler is now fully self-hosted!! Fixed point was reached Saturday and there is a first release now available! Silica-compiler now compiles itself to exactly the same binary. Also, the Silica compiler has passed over 33,000 CI trials so its robustness is way up! The compiler also uses much less memory and runs much faster!
A port to linux_AArch64 is now in the testing phase. A port to ESP32-S3 is well on its way (passes over 1,000 CI trials and could pass more but I’m doing quicker turnarounds and focusing on the new behaviors).
There is still more work to do, but there is a big speedup thanks to Jonatan’s contribution of tokens.
It’s now time to start using Silica to create project BEES! I’m starting that this week too.
