About

Project status and getting involved

While major changes to the language specification are not foreseen, the template handler API and list of common extension functions are not yet stable. Additionally, the unit tests and CI setup need some love before Passthrough can be recommended for mission critical applications.

A basic feature roadmap is kept in the project repository's readme, while the issues tell a somewhat finer-grained story. If you would like to get involved (great!), submitting an issue and introducing yourself is a good way to start things off.

Feedback, suggestions and contributions from the community are welcome and appreciated.
