    • RBL Compiler - start testing splitting out the C++ compiler
      • We can force it into a late lookup, but then as executing the VM reports that it is looking for a run time binding of a symbol.
      • The symbols need to be added by the compiler.  We need to add more environment information within the objects that the compiler creates.
    • Will need to port to 64 bits as well.
    • Progress made on OpCodes, support for Primitives that mutate VM state
      • Once the primitive support is in, we plan to release more bounties.
    • No timeline as yet on VM Completion
