mastodon 4.7.3Official account of the Gren programming language.
Gren 0.6.6 is released 🎉
This is a minor release with the following features:
* The compiler backend now has a pre-built binary for Linux Arm64 systems
* The compiler backend is downloaded using Stream, which avoids timeouts on slow connections and keeps the memory usage low
If you're using Gren from nixpkgs, then this release won't matter much to you, as nixpkgs contains arm64 binaries.
New development update just dropped!
Have a good summer, everyone!
