Feather is a WIP toy scripting language meant for use with the Argus game engine.

Feather will eventually consist of a number of separate components:

• A language specification
• A standard library specification and implementation
• A bytecode specification
• A bytecode compiler
• A VM
• A bytecode interpreter
• Potentially a JIT native compiler

Ideally, the VM will be capable of accepting bytecode directly or generating it on-the-fly from Feather code.

• Syntax should be as simple as possible while still being expressive
• Optional dynamic typing while retaining support for static typing
• QoL language features:
  • Native tuple types (anonymous structs)
  • Array/map literal syntax
• Language should provide first-class support for domain-specific QoL features like automatic event handler registration via type/function attributes
• Binding interface should allow for explicit registration of constructs like namespaces and struct and enum types (rather than needing to hack in support, e.g. in liblua)
• Standard library should provide utilities specific to game programming (e.g. vector/matrix types, lerp functions)
