Graphcal roadmap (WIP)

Phase 0: Language design iteration

Goals

• Settle on the language syntax
• Ensure (to some extent) the correctness of type checker, compiler, and evaluator
• Make Graphcal usable in real-world problems

Primary scope

• Language syntax
  • Rapidly iterating the language syntax
• Compiler and evaluator
  • Correctness (to some extent)

Experimental scope

• Plotting
• Editor extensions (VS Code, Zed)
• Formatter
• LSP

What is not in scope

• Performance

Phase 1: Usability improvements

Goals

• Make Graphcal useful in real-world problems

Primary scope

• Editor extensions
• Plotting
• Formatter
• LSP
• Graph-view export
• Installation channels

Experimental goals

• Spreadsheet interop
• External function (e.g., Python) interop

Phase 2: Performance improvements

Goals

• Make Graphcal performant
• Allow batch-processing of inputs
