# stryke Roadmap
**The hottest language ever created. Literally.**
This document outlines the path to mass worldwide adoption. ✅ marks shipped, ⏳ marks deferred or in-progress, ⏭️ marks future phases not started.
## Phase 1 — Foundations — ✅ MOSTLY SHIPPED
1. ✅ Package registry MVP: parse stryke.toml, set up ~/.stryke/store/, local path deps.
2. ✅ CLI surface: s new, s init, s add, s remove, s install (plus update, outdated, audit, vendor, clean, run, install -g).
3. ✅ AOT binary output via Cranelift: native ELF/Mach-O/PE.
4. ✅ s bench harness.
5. ✅ s fmt + s check basics.
6. ✅ Stress testing: throttle command for live intensity adjustment.
7. ⏳ Stress testing: mTLS controller/agent communication — current model is plaintext over TCP.
8. ✅ Stress testing: audit log for compliance — `audit_log("event", ...)` JSONL append, `~/.stryke/audit.log` or `$STRYKE_AUDIT_LOG`.
9. ✅ Stress testing: auto-terminate guards (max temp, max runtime, ack timeout).
## Phase 2 — AI primitives (single provider) — ✅ SHIPPED
10. ✅ prompt and stream_prompt builtins, Anthropic + others.
11. ✅ embed builtin + sqlite-vec backend.
12. ✅ Result cache + ai_cost tracking.
13. ✅ tool fn declaration with build-time JSON schema.
14. ✅ ai builtin: agent loop with local tools.
15. ✅ ai_mock_install / STRYKE_AI_MODE=mock-only for tests.
## Phase 3 — Web framework MVP — ✅ SHIPPED (core), ⏳ stress-metrics integration deferred
16. ✅ HTTP/1.1 server (`web_serve`).
17. ✅ Radix-trie router compiled from DSL.
18. ✅ Per-request scratch buffers.
19. ✅ Middleware (logger, security headers, ETag, CSRF).
20. ✅ ORM with chain API (SQLite default; Postgres/MySQL via builtins).
21. ✅ Migrations DSL (`web_create_table`/`add_column`/`web_migrate`).
22. ✅ ERB templates (`<%= %>` / `<% %>` / `<%- -%>`) + layouts + partials.
23. ✅ s_web new generator (`s_web new myapp --app everything --theme cyberpunk --auth --admin --docker --ci --pwa --migrate`).
24. ✅ Stress testing: Prometheus /metrics export — `stress_metrics_prometheus()` returns text-exposition format ready for a `/metrics` handler.
25. ✅ Stress testing: CSV/JSON metrics export — `stress_metrics_csv()`, `stress_metrics_json()`, `stress_metrics_export($path, format => ...)`.
26. ✅ Stress testing: live metrics streaming — `stress_metrics_watch(field => "...", interval_ms => 1000, max_ticks => 60)`.
## Phase 4 — MCP integration — ✅ SHIPPED
27. ✅ mcp_connect client (stdio + http; ws deferred).
28. ✅ mcp_server declarative DSL + programmatic `mcp_server_start`.
29. ✅ s build --mcp-server standalone server flag — wraps the script + `mcp_serve_registered_tools(name)` and bundles into a fat binary that speaks MCP stdio JSON-RPC.
30. ✅ Auto-attach connected MCP servers to ai calls.
31. ✅ AI collection builtins: ai_filter, ai_map, ai_classify, ai_sort, ai_match, ai_dedupe with batching.
## Phase 5 — Production web + K8s deploy — ⏳ PARTIAL
32. ⏳ HTTP/2 via h2, TLS via rustls.
33. ⏳ WebSockets + SSE first-class — SSE wired (`web_sse`); WS not yet.
34. ✅ Background jobs (DB-backed queue) — `web_jobs_init`, `web_job_enqueue`, `web_job_dequeue`, `web_job_complete`, `web_job_fail`, `web_jobs_list`, `web_jobs_stats`, `web_job_purge`.
35. ✅ Encrypted secrets — `secrets_encrypt`/`secrets_decrypt` (AES-256-GCM), `secrets_random_key`, `secrets_kdf` (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256, 600k iters default).
36. ✅ CSRF/CSP/HSTS security middleware (`web_security_headers`, `web_csrf_meta_tag`).
37. ✅ Embedded static asset pipeline (`web_static`).
38. ⏭️ Stress testing: Alpine container image + static binary.
39. ⏭️ Stress testing: DaemonSet manifest.
40. ⏭️ Stress testing: sidecar injection mode.
41. ⏭️ Stress testing: Helm chart.
42. ⏭️ Stress testing: Kubernetes Operator.
43. ⏭️ Stress testing: Grafana dashboard.
## Phase 6 — Tooling for adoption — ⏳ PARTIAL
44. ✅ LSP server (rust-analyzer-class) — full hover/completion surface in `strykelang/lsp.rs`.
45. ⏭️ DAP debugger integration.
46. ⏭️ Profiler with flamegraphs and allocation tracking — `zpwrFlame` works at the shell level; in-process language profiler deferred.
47. ⏳ Advanced linter (n+1, hot-loop AI calls, dead code).
## Phase 7 — Multi-provider + local AI — ✅ MOSTLY SHIPPED
48. ✅ OpenAI provider (chat, tool calls, streaming, Whisper, TTS, image gen, Files API, moderation).
49. ✅ Gemini provider (`gemini-2.5-flash` default).
50. ⏳ Local fallback via embedded llama.cpp — Ollama + LM Studio (`openai_compat`) cover the local path today; in-process linkage deferred.
51. ✅ [ai.routing] per-operation provider selection.
## Phase 8 — Hot reload + effects — ⏭️ NOT STARTED
52. Hot module replacement (Cranelift recompile in place).
53. Effects system (algebraic, opt-in).
54. Capability-based runtime (FilesystemCap, NetCap, AICap).
## Phase 9 — Heavyweights — ⏭️ NOT STARTED (numerical partially landed)
55. Embeddable mode (--embed build target).
56. ⏳ Numerical/data stack: native vector ops + SIMD + n-d arrays — `vec_*` cosine/search/topk shipped; n-d arrays + SIMD broadcast deferred.
57. GPU codegen via Cranelift → SPIR-V/PTX.
58. Notebook protocol (Jupyter-compatible kernel).
59. CRDTs as first-class types.
## Phase 10 — Migration shims — ⏭️ NOT STARTED
60. PyPI bridge: call Python packages from stryke.
61. npm bridge: call Node packages.
62. Rails-app importer.
63. JVM interop bridge for enterprise Java.
## Phase 11 — Top-class performance + enterprise tier — ⏭️ NOT STARTED
64. Thread-per-core runtime + io_uring (Linux).
65. SIMD HTTP parser.
66. kTLS for static asset serving.
67. HTTP/3 / QUIC default-on for TLS.
68. Stress testing: RHEL certification.
69. Stress testing: AWS/Azure/GCP marketplace listings.
70. Stress testing: compliance docs (SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, FedRAMP).
71. Stress testing: BCP/DR procedure templates and validators.
72. Stress testing: enterprise support tier — revenue stream activation.
## Phase 12 — Reach — ⏭️ NOT STARTED
73. WASM target (--target=wasm32-wasi).
74. Lambda runtime adapter.
75. Time-travel debugging (record + replay).
76. First-class grammars (Raku-style).
77. Schema-typed embedded SQL.

## Non-Goals
These are explicitly **not** on the roadmap:
- **Application performance testing** — Use k6, Locust, Gatling
- **Network DDoS** — stryke is for infrastructure validation, not attacks
- **GUI** — CLI-first, always
- **Windows support** — Unix-only, unapologetic
