Hello! I'm LunaStev, the developer of Wave. I'm very excited to release the v0.0.5 pre-beta version. I'm very excited to share the 5th version of Wave.

In this version, we have added a while statement.

✅ Added Features

🔁 Loops: Full Support for while Statements

  • Basic while loops

  • Nested while loops

  • Variable declaration and initialization inside loops

  • Loop termination condition handling (supports comparison operators like <=, <, ==, etc.)

  • print and println functions work inside loops

🧨 Control Flow

  • Support for break statements

  • Allows breaking out of loops in the middle

  • Works correctly even inside nested loops

  • (⏳ Next version: continue support planned)

🧠 Variable Handling

  • Fully correct local variable scoping (e.g., a new j is created in each loop)

  • Supports var declarations (must specify types like i32, u32, etc.)

  • Allows variable reassignment (handles patterns like i = i + 1)
