Ona scripts do not support any control flow, making it impossible to do anything more complicated than creating variables, assigning the results of expressions to variables, and returning them at the end of the script.

The following minimum control flow constructs should be supported.

If / else
While

Whether these should be expressions or statements is another conversation but the language needs them to be useful beyond defining program configurations.

This looks to be blocked by a miscompilation in the Zig compiler, as it's causing symbol name corruption during AST parsing within Kym.

Found a workaround for the miscompilation - work can continue.
