Golo/Roadmap-v3.1

Overview

(TBD)

We adopt a 8 weeks fixed schedule between milestones. The planning of milestones is organic.

The number of milestones before the completion of Golo 3.1.0 is yet to be determined.

The new gololang.Errors modules provides functional error handling capabilities.
An issue with named parameters and directly-called anonymous function references has been fixed.
Duplicate struct and union types are now being detected as compilation errors.
The orIfNull operator was incorrectly eager, it has now been made lazy.
Overloaded instance methods from Java APIs are now supported, with proper call site invalidation. This augments the Golo to Java inter-operability.
The runtime support for instance methods resolution has been refactored.
A rare variable arguments matching issue has been fixed.
Augmentations are now also resolved based on the call stack, so that a calling module also offers its visible augmentations as a fallback.
Operator call sites now use an exception-based invalidation mechanism rather that a guard-based one.
Structures are now comparable.
Issues when mixing module state and closure state have been addressed.
A new console ANSI codes module is part of the standard API.
Custom factory functions can now be defined for structures.
Implicit modules are now imported after the explicit ones.
The compiler intermediate representation API has been refactored.
