Work in progress for Peon 0.2.x

What changed

  • Peon will no longer use a runtime GC. Instead, the memory model will use lifetimes with regions. Ownership/uniqueness (a la Rust), might be added in the future, too
  • The compiler has been completely overhauled and no longer handles any code generation (in fact, currently there is no code generation at all, just a parser and a type checker). This is to allow for true multi-backend support as well as to improve separation of concerns
