I first came across something like this in janet, which includes a PEG system in the standard library. It definitely changed how I think about text processing. Very much of the time what I find myself doing with regex is defining a grammar, but I didn't realize that. I wish more languages included the tools for it, it's a core operation of practical programming.

4. Compile time `$foreach` now iterates over string literals, which was missing.
The standard library is also seeing some incremental improvements, including `foreach`-compatible iterators for `HashMap`.
In terms of bug fixes, it sees a fairly large amount of bug fixes, mostly on more obscure parts of the language.
For 0.6.7 compile time mutation of compile time arrays will finally be permitted. And perhaps enums might finally have the missing "enums-with-gaps" resolved (currently, enums are strictly numbered 0 and up).
More importantly though, C3 will see the beginning of work to prune unused features from the language, which will then eventually be removed with 0.7.0.
This will be an ongoing job, to take the still somewhat uneven features of 0.6 and remove anything redundant and unused, as well as making sure that they don't have unnecessary special cases.

I built Crumb (https://github.com/liam-ilan/crumb) a year ago, before starting university. It completely changed the way I conceptualized programming as a whole. You start feeling deja-vu every time you open a new language, and the "ah-ha!" feeling you get when you see something in another language you had to think about when implementing your own is super rewarding.
A year later (this summer) I used Crumb to land my first job at a pretty cool startup! The payoff was way more than I could have ever expected.

I got stuck on sorting too, was working on SingeliSort (https://github.com/mlochbaum/SingeliSort) for a while. The basic performance is there but I need to get serious about testing before using it. But the radix sort and counting sort should be very solid. The approach is about the same as the C code currently used in CBQN, linked below. The main complication is to reduce constant overhead for shorter arrays with a small count type and better prefix sums, interleaved SWAR for SingeliSort since it targets generic architecture and shared SIMD utilities in CBQN.
Email in my Github profile, feel free to contact me any time if you'd like to talk about algorithms!
