The author, tagging the current state as v0.4.0-alpha-26, describes moving grammar authority out of parser code, centralizing structural analysis, fixing tooling failure-propagation bugs, making the runtime location-independent, and building an independent Aiki-written lexer, parser, and evaluator that can self-host and even recursively interpret itself. Also covered: a new editor-independent language service layer used by Xed, VS Code, and nvi; a profiler calibration experiment validating semantic counters; and plans for future work on process execution, networking, JSON, OS surface, signals, timers, and cryptographic hashing. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
