Memory management model and language features

[ghost]

I know the memory management model is an integral part of the runtime, so language features will depend on it. But to what extent? I don't know, since Adept also supports manual memory management. For example, if you change the memory management model in the future and I restrict myself to pure C-style manual memory management, then which language features will be available to me, and will my code work in the new Adept?

Adept 3.x is still in the design phase, but yes it is planned to break backwards-compatibility.

It will effectively be a new language.

They will probably not be interoperable.

Adept 2.x will always be supported though.

So I wouldn't worry about trying to make your code future-proof with 3.x. If it really concerns you, you can always make a static library in Adept 2.x, as I can guarantee that 3.x will support static libraries.

Adept 2.x will still always be supported of course.

Also there may be migration tools, although we will see
