sona-lang 0.12.1

Sona Programming Language with Cognitive Accessibility and Neurodivergent-First Features

Sona

Sona is a programming language runtime and toolchain distributed on PyPI as sona-lang and exposed on the command line as sona.

The project is focused on a language-first execution model with explicit runtime boundaries, a Python-hosted interpreter, a bundled standard library, and a CLI that can run .sona programs directly.

Highlights from that release:

• tightened the public sona.runtime.memory surface
• moved advanced host/runtime helpers behind explicit internal modules
• kept the language surface stable while aligning package metadata and release artifacts
• validated installable wheel and sdist output for public distribution
