clice recently hit 1,000 commits, a special milestone for the project. Since July 19, 2026, clice has been shipping nightly builds and going through roughly four months of alpha testing, with a huge number of bugs fixed thanks to real-world feedback from early users. Over the same stretch, I built a rigorous testing system for clice and ran extensive tests across many real open-source projects, tracking down and fixing the issues they uncovered. What does that mean? Every core feature is now stable, and you rarely run into problems in day-to-day use. So I think the time is right to ship the first stable release. The project looks very different today from where it stood two years ago in Design and Implementation of a New C++ Language Server, and this is probably the first time I’m promoting it widely, so please let me introduce it to you once again! This is the project I have poured the past two and a half years into, the work I am proudest of, the one that has excited me the most and left me sad and anxious more times than I can count, and the most ambitious thing I have taken on in my short life.
