This is one of the biggest ApolloVM releases so far, bringing two new languages, major WebAssembly advancements, and substantial runtime improvements.

🆕 Kotlin Support

ApolloVM now supports Kotlin parsing, execution, and translation, reaching feature parity with Java support.

• ✅ Parse Kotlin source
• ✅ Execute Kotlin code inside ApolloVM
• ✅ Translate Kotlin ↔ Dart ↔ Java
• ✅ Shared AST architecture with no AST changes required

Supported features include functions, classes, type inference, collections, control flow, and string templates.

🆕 Modern JavaScript Support

JavaScript is now a first-class ApolloVM language.

• ✅ Parse, execute, and translate JavaScript
• ✅ Classes, constructors, fields, methods
• ✅ let / const / var
• ✅ for, for...of, while
• ✅ Template literals
• ✅ Arrow functions
• ✅ Strict equality (===, !==)

JavaScript can now be translated to Dart and Java, and Dart/Java code can be translated back to JavaScript through the shared AST.

🌐 Massive WebAssembly Progress

Building on the work introduced in 0.1.27, ApolloVM now provides extensive Wasm generation support:

• ✅ Lists and Maps
• ✅ String handling and interpolation
• ✅ Loops and recursion
• ✅ Function calls
• ✅ Dynamic memory growth
• ✅ Map iteration (.keys / .values)
• ✅ Map parameters and return values
• ✅ Compound collection assignments (m[k] += 1)
• ✅ Browser validation on Chrome

The Wasm backend is rapidly moving toward full Dart feature parity.

⚡ Runtime Improvements

• Dynamic arithmetic now works correctly across all supported languages • for-each / for...of loops now operate on any iterable • JavaScript division follows JavaScript semantics (7 / 2 = 3.5) • Improved code generation correctness • Fixed CLI translation output issues

🧪 Quality & Testing

This release adds extensive coverage for Kotlin, JavaScript, WebAssembly, runtime behavior, translation round-trips, and cross-language execution.

ApolloVM now supports:

• 🔹 Dart
• 🔹 Java
• 🔹 Kotlin
• 🔹 JavaScript
• 🔹 WebAssembly (compilation/generation)

All powered by a single shared AST and runtime infrastructure.

The long-term goal remains unchanged: write once, parse anywhere, execute anywhere, translate anywhere.
