- demand-monomorphized Brolang and C-ABI functions
- integer comptime value parameters such as `make_array func($N usize) [N]u8`, specialized by value and omitted from the runtime ABI
- explicit comptime type parameters such as `max func($T type, a, b T) T`, specialized by type and omitted from the runtime ABI
- leading comptime type/integer parameters may be omitted when uniquely recoverable from runtime argument types or the immediate expected result; explicit calls remain valid
- comptime parameters must form one leading prefix before all runtime parameters
- comptime type/integer/string parameters may appear anywhere, are erased from the runtime ABI, and may be omitted when uniquely recoverable from runtime arguments or the immediate expected result; `_` is an explicit inference hole
- forced typed comptime expressions such as `$sum(1, 2)`, `$Point { x = 1, y = 2 }`, and comptime value blocks such as `${ yield 4 }`
- comptime execution for bodyful Brolang functions with mutable locals, loops, `defer`, `match`, `try`/`catch`, pointer/slice storage mutation, pointer captures, and calls through comptime-known function values
- comptime type factories such as `Box func($T type) type { return struct { value T } }`; calls like `Box(i32)` are concrete nominal types and may appear anywhere a type is expected
- tuple types are unnamed-field structs (`struct { i32, []u8 }`), tuple values use `{1, "bro"}` / `{1,}` / `{}`, and fields use canonical numeric names such as `.0`
- `typeinfo!`, `field!`, `compile_error!`, and semantic `inline for` provide compile-time record reflection and heterogeneous static expansion without runtime metadata; reflected aggregates remain persistent compile-time values, and inline-loop `break` / `continue` must be selected entirely at comptime
- bodyful `c_func` definitions and bodyless `c_func` declarations with exact external symbol names
- concrete-only C signatures, C variadic declarations/calls, and C default argument promotions
- native function pointer values and types with `@func(...) R`, fallible `@func(...) R ! E`, optional `?@func(...) R`, and non-variadic native indirect calls

- `std/arraylist` generic `ArrayList(T)` with direct `items` slice access, explicit capacity, allocator ownership, fallible reserve/append, clear, and deinit

- `std/io` explicit `Io` capabilities, `Reader`/`Writer` stream values, allocation-free `write_all`, and comptime-expanded writer-first `print`; formatting currently supports sequential `{s}` / `{d}` plus `{{` / `}}`, with malformed formats and incompatible tuple fields rejected at comptime
- entry points are either `main func() ...` or `main func(init process.Init) ...`; `std/process.Init` carries startup capabilities, currently only `io`, while the system provider remains hidden inside `std/io`

- aggregate comptime parameters and stable aggregate specialization keys
- tuples and native Brolang variadic functions
- native Brolang variadic functions
- exporting Brolang functions to C and broader target-specific C ABI lowering
- non-plain C record layouts such as bitfields, packed records, flexible arrays, qualified fields, and C variadic record arguments
- arenas, pools, build-mode heap policy, and escaping-allocation diagnostics
- recursive type factories, type reflection, and type-producing unions/enums
- recursive type factories, reflection payloads beyond records, and type-producing unions/enums
- broader Zig-style pointer/result casts beyond V1 `ptrcast!(T, ptr)`
- sum-type ABI/layout polish, including dynamic tag-width shrinking, all-void channel collapse, and cross-module global-id determinism
- backed/C enum composition and must-consume fallible linting
