December 2024: Delivered a major refactor of the API and compiler pipeline for lfortran, aligning the codebase behind a unified visitor architecture and generalized serialization/deserialization. This included renaming Union/UnionType, consolidating code generation, splitting deserialization, generalizing the separate visitor approach, and separating AST vs ASR visitors. In parallel, ported the core AST/ASR infrastructure and utilities to the new framework (tree, walkers, duplicators, replacers, and utilities like lookup_name, pickle, json). Completed porting of AST expr and walker (expr_type, expr_value, walk) and modularized asr_base_visitor. Implemented build system enhancements (WITH_BENCHMARKS option, cleaner CMake/less verbose Makefile). Cleaned up legacy artifacts by removing the cpptranslate binary and related tests. Updated tests and documentation with new reference results and instructions to run the script. These changes improve modularity, maintainability, and readiness for future features, while delivering concrete business value through a cleaner build, faster iteration, and a scalable architecture.
