- CircleCI setup — build, test on every push
- x86_64 reference counting — 1 test failure remaining (memReclaimBurn). RC infrastructure is built but disabled. See docs/x64-refcounting.md.
- AI-agent doc audit: review AGENTS.md / README / docs vs. the actual code and dev setup. Specific gaps to close:
- Write
docs/adding-a-backend.md(scattered across PR description, architecture.md, and x64-refcounting.md today) - Write
docs/features/x64-codegen.mdto mirror the existing arm64-codegen.md - Audit
docs/features/*.mdfor stale ARM64-only references (binary-generation.md, register-allocation.md especially) - Verify
docs/adding-features.mdcovers per-arch pass changes - Refresh the AGENTS.md benchmarks section (drop "ignore quicksort error"; point at
benchmarks/README.md)
- Write
- Write
docs/worktrees.mdif the worktree workflow becomes more elaborate. - x86_64 encoding test coverage — 36 of 47 instruction types untested at byte level

AST.FuncRef— what's the plan for this? Looks dead but idk. Added in 6945c98 for higher-order functions, but the current pipeline routes them throughreplaceFuncRefsWithWrappers(2_AST_to_ANF.fs:2615) which rewritesAST.Var name→AST.Closure (wrapperName, []). I can't find anywhereAST.FuncRefis actually constructed, yet it's pattern-matched in ~15 sites across 2_AST_to_ANF.fs, 1.5_TypeChecking.fs, ASTPrettyPrinter.fs, IRPrinter.fs, 2.5_RefCountInsertion.fs, 3_ANF_to_MIR.fs, ANFDeadCodeElimination.fs, both parsers (validation only), and E2ETestRunner.fs. Was this left in for a future pass, or is it just leftover from the original design? If dead, removing it would delete ~60-80 lines. (Note:ANF.FuncRefis a different type and is still live — constructed in2.6_PrintInsertion.fs:50.) - Run compiler against existing package repo
- Additional architectures (arm32?)
- int64 assumptions
- add values
- mutmut testing
- matching darklang language
- increasing code coverage
- completing benchmarks
- expanding to support full language
- support full darklang stdlib
- Json stdlib module (parsing/serialization)
- support full darklang test suite
- reimplement darklang compiler in Darklang
- reimplement test suite in Darklang
- complete Unicode string support
- add optimizations
- remove crashes
- end-to-end SSA
- SSA-based HIR (sub ANF?)
- SCCP-based HIR, MIR, and LIR optimizations
- remove non-functional idioms
- unify memory management (RawPtr, heap primitives, reference counting)
