At the beginning of Q4 2024, a 1.0 version of the language will be released.
## FAQ
I have either been asked these questions, or expect to be at some point.
### What happened to ARF?
A couple of years ago, I attempted to create a programming language under the
name ARF, with the goal of trying out some new and interesting syntax I'd come
up with. I made several attempts to build a working compiler for it, but never
quite succeeded. When I entered my senior year at university, I decided to have
another crack at it as my senior project. By then, the ideas I had for the
language had changed so much, it was basically a Ship of Theseus situation and
it really just needed a new name altogether. Plus, ARF never really stood for
anything in the first place.
### Why Go?
Out of all the languages I know, I probably know Go the best. It was an obvious
choice for making on something this complex. However, I may self-host the
compiler eventually.
### I know you as X name from Y place, why is your name here Sasha Koshka?
I consider it a bad idea to share your real name over the internet.
