Loment: A self-hosted systems language with multi-syntax front ends

Loment v0.1.4, work-in-progress systems language.

The released `lomt` binary can compile Loment source to native x86-64 ELF/PE binaries. Python is not required to run the compiler; it is only used as a reference implementation for byte-for-byte validation.

Multiple syntax frontends share identical core semantics and IR; primary syntax is Rust-like. `lompi` interop supports calling libraries written in C, C++, Java, Go, C#, and Python.

Core design ideas include dual-implementation bytewise validation and a capability-domain security model.

Current limitations: - GC is not implemented yet - Full convergent byte-identical bootstrap validation is still ongoing

If the community grows, we plan to create a developer committee to manage peripheral modules: FFI bindings, syntax frontends, standard library and documentation. Core semantics, bootstrapping invariants and capability-domain rules remain under the original author’s final decision. Committee membership requires prior substantial contributions.

All open issues and unfinished goals are documented in the repository.
