<h1 id="current-state">Current state</h1>
<p>Current state, not comprehensively listed, but items of some noteworthiness:</p>
<ul>
<li>the basic Acton language is mostly there
<ul>
<li>normal language features work, you can use Acton to implement programs</li>
<li>there may be syntax changes</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>compiler error messages leave quite some room for improvement</li>
<li>very little documentation :/</li>
<li>tiny standard library
<ul>
<li>join the movement and write a library! :)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>actor snapshotting and resumption of computation to/from the distributed database
<ul>
<li>fundamentals in place</li>
<li>the implementation of actor migration and placement in the new C RTS is currently under way
<ul>
<li>this is a feature that existed in the old Acton RTS POC, so it is a sort of proven concept but needs to be reimplemented in the C RTS</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>the distributed backend does not yet support persisting data to disk
<ul>
<li>the database and distributed queues are all in-memory only for now</li>
<li>but its distributed, so hey, dont turn off all your machines at once ;)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>not possible to live upgrade data in database
<ul>
<li>we will leverage the Acton type system to detect when live upgrades are possible or when data migration needs to happen</li>
<li>assist user in writing data migration code</li>
<li>need to migrate actor state &amp; actor messages in flight!</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="future-road-map">Future road map</h1>
<p>This is not a promise of delivering any feature at a certain point in time. It's to give you a rough idea of what the future might hold.</p>
<h2 id="base-language">Base language</h2>
<ul>
<li>unify class and actor syntax</li>
<li>improve compiler performance, mainly in type inferencing</li>
<li>implement common modules in a standard library</li>
<li>support package management, e.g. dependencies in Acton projects with automatic downloads from remote repos etc</li>
<li>cross-compilation support</li>
<li>improve run time performance, in particular around GC</li>
<li>many many fixes on the path to a mature language</li>
</ul>
