Version 1.0 Roadmap

[simonask]

Loose collection of things I want to consider doing before hitting 1.0:

• Get rid of the workspace/out-dir distinction #77
• Support both % and {%} in string interpolations, requiring that a literal % is always escaped. Both syntaxes will be supported, because the latter would be required when building a pattern containing the stem of another pattern. #18
• Distinguish between shell-command strings and normal strings, using backticks ... in run statements #19
• Support fallible shell expressions with a fallback value. #20
• Regex variants of all pattern-matching expressions, i.e. glob-regex, match-regex, split-regex, filter-regex, discard-regex, etc. #21
• Native regex syntax support, delimited by /.../. Need integration with some regex parser, e.g. a reliable way to find the end of the regex before passing it to the regex crate. #22
• Support some alternative syntaxes, e.g. match <expr> { ... } in addition to <expr> | match { ... } #23
• Track "pathiness" during evaluation to avoid double-resolution of abstract paths. #25
• Include directive in Werkfiles #27
• Shell-like child process piping #29
• Array operations #53
• Breaking syntax changes #57
• Dictionaries #54
