Welcome to the stoical wiki!

It's been a wild ride for me. Thanks to everyone for the help getting here.

Short term goals

Bug fixes
Document what is where
Add tests
Set up coordination with other contributors

Medium term goals

Refactor code to have meaningful names
Build proper documentation for users, with working examples
decompile should show C source for those words, needs to be supported by the build system
find some way to build it for Windows.
find some way to make it build (no matter how big of a hack) with Justine's Cosmopolitan library (would have to disable threads, at least)

Possible changes

Separate out doc strings into an actual document file?
Refactor as much as possible from C back into Stoical
Make it self hosting? (Seems like a long stretch goal)
Make sure it can do everything Lisp can do
Handle UTF-8, and all that entails. (Frightening complexity)

Note: The possibility that STOIC/STOICAL could in fact handle typed lists/trees/etc on the stack hints at capabilities at least equivalent to Lisp.
