Roadmap

Public status page for what ships today. The ordered implementation plan lives under Internals → Priority. This page is not a promise list.

Shipped (do not re-list as “later”)

Already in the language or CLI:

File modules: import / export (v0.3)
REPL (echo with no file), echo check, echo test, echo fmt, echo lint
Exact object types: exact { ... } (0.7.2)
Number literals .5 / scientific form; multiline strings
const (including param const in 0.7.9), destructuring (hash as rename, hash rest), builtins as values, range-as-value, unions (int | str), switch through 0.7.9
Nominal class + construction (0.8.0); methods + this (0.8.1); interface (0.8.2); explicit new { ... } fields (0.8.3); field defaults (0.8.4); unbound methods (0.8.5); type methods (0.8.6); optional implements (0.8.7); docs/README release pass (0.8.8); first PyPI package echolang (0.8.9)

0.8.x closed (PyPI echolang 0.8.9 shipped). Language freeze while dogfooding.

Version	Item	Status
0.8.3	Explicit `new { ... }` field block	implemented (0.8.3)
0.8.4	Field defaults in construction	implemented (0.8.4)
0.8.5	Unbound methods `Point.length(p)`	implemented (0.8.5)
0.8.6	Type methods (no `this`)	implemented (0.8.6)
0.8.7	Optional `implements` clause	implemented (0.8.7)
0.8.8	Docs / README release pass	implemented (0.8.8)
0.8.9	First PyPI release (`echolang`)	implemented (0.8.9)
next	Compound assign on members (`this.x += 1`)	drafted (held)

Details: Priority — 0.8.x. Do not start “next” until dogfooding ends.

Not near-term. Do not treat these as upcoming releases unless a draft series exists above:
