Jan 1, 2025

January 2025: Delivered key developer experience and performance improvements in HigherOrderCO/HVM3. Implemented HVM-Lazy CLI argument enhancements with string argument support, input validation, and clear separation of flags from data args; established and evolved a build-time cache for compiled C code and shared objects to accelerate iteration, including optional MD5-based caching, selective recompilation, and later adjustments for robustness.
