Dealing with documentation
This results in two websites: - the documentation of the language on the "main" website, https://arkscript-lang.dev ; - the technical documentation (+ modules) on doxygen: https://arkscript-lang.dev/impl/

Lately, I've been working on optimizations for my language, ArkScript, and finally take some time to add tail-call optimization to my compiler.

Solving the stack problem
A nice and bigger example would be this one, a snake game: https://github.com/ArkScript-lang/Ark/blob/dev/examples/games/snake/snake.ark
- Contributed to some OSSs with pull-requests in this year too.

Still working on ArkScript after releasing the 3.1.0, improving the standard library, adding modules, and working on performance improvements + adding parallel builtins soon!
- ArkScript 3.1.0 is here with macro and UTF-8 support

GitHub actions are awesome
Until recently, when we wanted to create new releases for ArkScript, we had to build the language on all the system we support (currently Windows and Linux), build the modules (http, console, random, etc), test everything on each operating system, and then package the needed files and directory in ZIPs. We had to go to GitHub, create a new release, add the correct tag (and not mix it with the title as they are different things!), grep the latest changelog, and add our artifacts.
