Some ideas on how to improve the project:

New features

[ ] Support do {...} while (...); statements.
[ ] Support variadic functions.
[ ] Support & on local and global variables in Shell backend.
[ ] Generate executables compatible with macOS and Windows. Bonus points if they are αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε.
[ ] ARM/RISC-V backends.

Code quality / Tech debt

[ ] Unify the way the environment is tracked in the shell and exe backends.
[ ] Add a CI/CD pipeline that tests Pnut on all supported platforms and makes releases for them.
[ ] Improve errors produced by Pnut.

Other

[x] Improve README.md.
[x] Make a landing page for Pnut on pnut.sh.
[ ] Add more examples.

I think it'd be impressive to add the tools over at https://git.suckless.org/sbase/files.html as examples. That'd also be exciting for people interested in writing pure SH scripts (scripts that don't call external commands). :)
