Priorities, milestones

[bdarcus]

As preface, I've been experimenting in parallel with a Rust based implementation here:

https://github.com/bdarcus/csln

I'm leaning towards prioritizing that going forward, but plan to align the models. But the success of either project will depend on contributions from others, so we'll see how they go.

Status

At this point, I'm confident in the direction of the basic style model, though the details are in need of wider review and testing.

I have, however, checked my assumptions against what I'm able to glean from the existing style repository using ripgrep.

Doing so shows that in the areas where I've moved logic from templates/macros to parameters, styles show a lot of duplication, which suggests in retrospect that level of control is not needed in the template language itself.

Milestones

So I've set up some obvious tentative milestones, and am already ahead of that schedule.

Ideally if this works out, I can transfer this project to the CSL GitHub org, and it can be team managed and developed further.

Contributing

If you are interested in potentially submitting a PR, let me know before you start; I've been somewhat liberal about rewriting the git history of the main branch so far (though I've avoided this more recently, as things are looking more stable)!

PS - having no previous experience with the js/node ecosystem, I've just opted to use tools here that bring me joy 😊

They're generally easy-to-use, with good UIs, high performance, and minimal dependencies.
