HigherOrderCO/Bend

Bend is a compiler and runtime system for the Bend language, designed to translate high-level functional and imperative code into an intermediate net representation for execution. It provides a complete toolchain including a parser, static analysis, and multiple optimization passes that transform user code into an efficient, normalized form. The system supports a rich standard library, module imports, and pattern matching, while enforcing strict type and scope checks to prevent common errors. Its architecture is built around a core library for AST and net manipulation, with extensive golden testing to ensure correctness across compilation, execution, and error handling.

This period focused on migrating the codebase to the 'bend-lang' project, replacing the legacy AST and parser modules with hvm-core types and an internal net representation. The work also included a comprehensive CLI restructuring and the addition of golden tests to ensure compiler stability.

This period focused on expanding the Bend language's capabilities by introducing a standard library, an import system, and advanced AST transformation passes for pattern matching and recursion. These features were supported by a comprehensive suite of golden tests and static analysis checks to ensure correctness across the compiler pipeline.
