I'd like to bring to attention what @aral [mentioned above](https://github.com/automerge/automerge/issues/89#issuecomment-388570483 ) almost 3 years ago - namely the [article about ORDTs (and Causal Trees)](http://archagon.net/blog/2018/03/24/data-laced-with-history/ ) because there is a bunch...

This would be great. Even greater if the "annotations" allowed for (nearly) arbitrary turing complete computations in **compile time**.

Reading your recent Twitter posts about copying garbage collection etc. I think you might be interested in https://github.com/mattreecebentley/plf_hive as it preserves reference validity after deletion/reallocation.

Another question :wink:. Could one somehow assert to the compiler that "here I do not want any allocation nor free to happen"? If the compiler finds out this requirement is...

[AsmJit](https://github.com/asmjit/asmjit ) might be of help here.

Hm, I'd prefer as much compatibility with existing string formatting & interpolation solutions (beginning with `printf` from the C standard through [*V*](https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md#strings ) up to e.g. Python).

I think that the stdlib which will be forever shipped (and forever maintained) with Basil shall be really minimal (let's call it a tier 1 stdlib) and have strong focus...

Generally references (i.e. disguised pointers but with less free semantics) are a necessity for a general purpose language. I think pointers (i.e. the free semantics as pointer arithmetic etc.) should...
