Your project looks interesting, but I looked through the Github project and site, but I couldn't find a language specification, reference manual, BNF-like grammar, or anything to indicate what the syntax is, beyond a very trivial example in the Github. To be blunt, I think you need to start with a spec to get any traction. That allows people to understand your data model and particular text encoding of it. If they like it, they might use your tool and perhaps port the system to other languages.
- breck 7y agoGood feedback, thank you. You may have seen the spec, it’s just quite minimal (here’s a more elaborate one: https://github.com/treenotation/jtree/blob/master/spec.txt https://github.com/treenotation/jtree/blob/master/spec.txt) Here’s a BNf: https://github.com/treenotation/jtree/issues/1 https://github.com/treenotation/jtree/issues/1 There’s a FAQ as well. Docs needs work, in particular I’m hoping people will create their own explanations of the ideas in external places, as that might be a better way to understand it. Happy to provide help to anyone that is interested in that.
