Okay, right now it's basically Pascal as it was described in Revised Report, only even more restricted. Which is... fine, I guess, you can still write a whole OS with something like that (without using pointers/addresses) as Per-Brinch Hansen demonstrated but it's... an acquired taste.
Are the actual references/pointers coming in the future?
Maybe Pascal without the syntax, sure. It’s still very early on.
I hope to not introduce references, because I’m going to give mutable value semantics a go. We’ll see though!
