v1.0.0

Our First Stable Release 🎉

This release marks a turning point.
After months of steady work through the 0.x series, the interpreter has reached a level of stability and confidence we can stand behind.

The language grammar, core runtime, and built-ins are now stable. Programs written today will continue to run as expected in future 1.x versions. Performance is tighter, the internals are cleaner, and the behavior is predictable.

The journey from v0.11.8b to v1.0.0 wasn’t about chasing features. It was about earning the right to call this stable. This version represents that moment.

If you’ve been experimenting through the early versions, thank you for the patience and feedback. From here, the focus shifts from constant change to careful evolution.
