Greetings, The Apache Lucy team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Clownfish version 0.5.0!
The Apache Clownfish "symbiotic" object system pairs with "host" programming language environments and facilitates the development of high performance language extensions. The main new features in Clownfish 0.5.0 are experimental support for the Go language, an overhauled documentation generator, and a substantial revision of the runtime API. Clownfish's new documentation generator is based on Markdown which can be converted to POD for Perl bindings and HTML or man pages for C bindings. 0.5.0 is also the first release that comes with complete documentation of our C runtime API and most internals like the Clownfish header file language. The Clownfish developers continue to work on support for additional host languages. The current status is: - C (feature-complete) - Go (experimental) - Perl 5 (feature-complete) - Python 3 / CPython (in progress) - Ruby / MRI (nascent) Help wanted! If you would like to contribute to Clownfish, please join the Apache Lucy developers mailing list.
