Roadmap/project status page

[legezam]

Hey

I am currently looking for a language to implement a project that is meant to target WASM. I was browsing across the entire WASM landscape, found many appealing languages to use, and came across Grain. Syntactically, Grain is the one that is closest to my heart, however, I am not able to assess the current state of the language. Ie what is supported, what is not, what's ahead, what will never be. Kind of roadmap/feature list. Something like what AssemblyScript has:

https://www.assemblyscript.org/status.html

It would help people greatly to decide quicly whether Grain is an option or not for them. For instance, AssemblyScript states unions are not supported and won't therefore it's a clear no-go for me.

In case you already have such a thing, then I am sorry, but the fact that I wasn't able to find it within 10mins of dedicated search might tell something even about its place :)

What is your opinion on that?

Thanks!

We've talked about having something like this for a while, but it hasn't happened. We've got a big website redesign coming soon™️ and I'll make sure we've got a page like that.

@ospencer , thanks for your reply.

Meanwhile, is there a discussion/forum topic, anything not formal anywhere which would give a rough/vague picture of the current status of the project? :)

There isn't really an all-in-one place, but the bulk of the conversation happens on our Discord server. You can ask any questions you have in #support; we're pretty quick to respond 🙂

If you're mostly asking about what WebAssembly features are used, that's an easy one, but as you can imagine the roadmap is a bit fuzzier, but we can speak to it generally.

Thank you so much!
