Aiki Alpha 2 Released

Aiki Alpha 2 has been released, marking a significant milestone in the language's development. This update focuses on making the architecture explicit, with the grammar now serving as the single authority for the syntax surface. The parser, evaluator, formatter, linter, help, and structural checks all derive from this new grammar, resulting in substantial improvements in validation and robustness.

The release includes a host of new features, such as newline termination, a redesigned host boundary, and the implementation of various language services in Aiki itself. The release archives are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
