- Better performance across the board is a priority for the team.
- Improve the support for all platforms, especially web, and desktop.
- Support more architectures, especially ARM and RISC-V.
- On the web, the primary target is WebAssembly, specifically the emerging work around support for garbage-collected languages known as WasmGC.
