Roadmap
Mission
Section titled “Mission”Create a programming language in Spanish that is fully functional for general purpose use, not just for teaching.
Short-term Vision
Section titled “Short-term Vision”For Quetzal Language to become a tool capable of running on a server to respond to requests and execute code in real-time, facilitating the development of web applications and backend services.
Motivation
Section titled “Motivation”Programming has no borders, but it can have roots. Quetzal aims to provide the Spanish-speaking community with a modern, secure, efficient language entirely in Spanish, allowing Spanish-speaking developers to create applications more intuitively and naturally. It also facilitates teaching programming concepts to those who have Spanish as their native language.
Quetzal is for Production
Section titled “Quetzal is for Production”Don’t see Quetzal as a programming language only for learning to program, but as a powerful tool that can be used by experienced developers to create robust and efficient applications. Currently in version 0.0.2, Quetzal already has a functional interpreter and a Visual Studio Code extension that improves the development experience.
