Roadmap 2023

thanks for clarifying. Now I got it, and can very much relate to your 
ambition. With language interoperability solved, the kernel is indeed a 
compelling playground for testing the waters with a new language that 
way. It solves interesting problems and its complexity is still 
manageable by a single person, at least when targeting one specific 
hardware platform.

I hope that my aspiration to further simplify the base system (in 
particular reducing the reliance on C++ complexities) over the year will 
make your life easier.

Cheers
Norman
