• support for templates
• clarified imports/includes
• built-in macros for common lexer patterns: string, ws, id, integer, decimal…
• improved grammar checking
• token categories (keyword, control, literal…) fo facilitate generation of simple editor support
• contextual tokens (for example, treating 'value' differently in C# depending on the context: Property setter or not ?)
• delegated grammars (to embed js and css in html)

Phase 1:

• discuss features and establish priorities - expected duration 3 months

browser first:

• tool in browser, no backend required
• use LSP for IDE integration

unified wasm runtime:

• reduces each runtime to wrappers -> simpler and more consistent targets
• requires machinery to generate the wasm lexer and parser

other evolutions:

• targets as plugins
