1. IDE support (especially for the hard parts, i.e. the proofs!) 2. the syntax is very complex (maybe simplify?) 3. better support for flat types (e.g. flat unions, flat unboxed arrays on stack, etc.) 4. compilation to wasm 5. tools (especially for building, but also package management) 6. some kind of help for implementing various intricately-linked data structures (doubly-linked lists, doubly-linked trees, etc.) 7. improvements to templates (e.g. templates for indexed type variables, is that even possible?) To make ATS viable, we have to make its kind of typeful programming friendly.
