Current commit: bf0e1a2 feat(language): implement Aether 0.7 typed error effect
Branch: codex/xlang-local-first-studio
Report mode: Read-only; no workspace changes made.
Executive status
Aether is now a verified, local-first CLI language toolchain with a deterministic AETH VM, a seed-hosted compiler path, bounded resources, structural AI-authoring contracts, and one safe typed error effect.
It is complete for the Aether 0.7 milestone, but it is not yet a legitimate public release. The language is usable locally; public distribution still needs packaging, signing, release materials, automation, and broader performance/reliability evidence.
Performance status
No defensible compiler or VM performance claim exists yet. The project correctly avoids claiming speed superiority without a pinned workload suite, baselines, hardware profile, warm/cold policy, and distribution data.
Current observed engineering costs:
-Full self-host validation: ~29.8 minutes.
-Direct CLI self-forge: ~9.5 minutes.
-Release CLI build: ~15.6 seconds.
The next performance work should establish a benchmark harness before optimizing compiler or VM hot paths.
Known limits and intentional boundaries:
-Seed compiler diagnostic parity is not claimed; Rust bootstrap remains diagnostic authority.
-M4 is only abortive Error[Whole]; no effect rows, inference, resumption, cleanup handlers, cancellation, or resource/effect composition.
-Resources cannot cross weave results or host/forge ABI boundaries.
-No structured concurrency, compile-time evaluator, generic shapes, SoA lowering, C/FFI, or native/LLVM backend.
-Records remain immutable, primitive-field-only, and non-recursive.
-Structural editing is not arbitrary AST mutation or universal syntax-error-proof AI generation.
These are intentional safety and proof boundaries, not undocumented debt.

Aether 0.7 is therefore appropriate for controlled local use and continued language development, not yet a signed/publicly distributed release.
@ub_codes_1cr Good idea, while everyone is still fighting about it, some of us see what's coming. By the time people realize, those of us that embraced it will have the choices. We'll already have the skills.
@mofyakabemba@solopribuilds How about those who use it as a cognitive extension or thought organization. As an AuADHD individual, AI has enabled me to finally turn my chaotic brain into an engine
