Language survey
Languages, by status.
QBasic is the first language running the full kavak stack, and Lua is the second one being brought onto it. Four flagship studios ship standalone. The rest are languages we’re taking on next.
Pilots

QBasic
running
- 498
- corpus tests
- 433
- arbitrated against real QB64-PE
- 126 / 157
- tracked keywords fully implemented
Graphics, sound, files, and interactive input are supported. The compiler runs as wasm in the tab. See the measurement →
Lua
running
1,422 of 2,505 in-scope asserts pass in the official Lua 5.4.8 test suite · a 219-row ledger is arbitrated by the real lua
The second language on the same machine, and it runs in Studio: every program in the studio smoke suite — hello world, a class, a coroutine, a pattern substitution — comes out byte-for-byte identical to the reference interpreter. The official-suite number above is the harder bar and the honest one to watch. See the measurement →
