Roadmap

Zeus is in active development. Here’s the batch of features planned next.

Generics

Reusable containers and functions parameterized by type, so you write a data structure once and use it with any element type — no casts, no duplication:

class Box<T> {
  private value: T;
  constructor(value: T) { this.value = value; }
  public get(): T { return this.value; }
}

function identity<T>(value: T): T {
  return value;
}

let boxed: Box<i32> = new Box<i32>(42);
let same: i32 = identity<i32>(7);

Generic interfaces (interface Container<T>) build on the same machinery.

Promise and async/await

First-class asynchronous values, so I/O reads like straight-line code instead of nested callbacks:

async function loadCount(): Promise<i32> {
  let value: i32 = await fetchCount();
  return value + 1;
}

Promise<T> is a generic type, so it lands together with generics.

A Node-like HTTP server

A web server in a few lines, served from the standard library — no main boilerplate required:

import { createServer, Request, Response } from "@std/http";

let server = createServer((req: Request, res: Response) => {
  res.writeHead(200, "text/plain");
  res.end("Hello from Zeus!");
});

server.listen(3000);

An expanded standard library

The file system, OS info and global process modules have landed, along with a C FFI for binding native libraries. More batteries — JSON, richer collections, crypto — are next, as @std modules you import on demand.
