Language specification

See LANGUAGE_SPEC_v10.0.0.md for the v10.0.0 stable language/runtime specification.

Release status

Niks30 v10.0.0 is the current stable release in this repository.

The project uses regression tests and release manifests to track compatibility. Not every subsystem has the same maturity level; the language specification and individual subsystem tests are the authoritative references for behavior.

Security

Do not treat Niks30 as a sandbox for untrusted programs. Use OS/container isolation when executing untrusted source.
