Documentation encourages hacking, not the other way around. People are usually substituting previously-learned docs when there isn’t any.
Especially for a language, though, understanding the intended use and the direction the language is growing helps prevent undocumented or unintended usage, and early obsolescence.
Edit: seems like some basic syntax docs could be generated from their source, actually. https://github.com/mun-lang/mun/tree/master/crates/mun_syntax/src https://github.com/mun-lang/mun/tree/master/crates/mun_synta...
- skrebbel 7y agoOh come on, people can't show off their projects anymore until they're perfect? This habit of immediately searching for the flaws of whatever gets posted is not helping anyone. If you want polished well presented shit, go to techcrunch or something.
- HelloNurse 7y agoOf course, but this project is like a car maker inviting the press to present a new model and showing a couple different windshields ("we aren't sure about the angle") and not even a picture. There are standards: a car needs complete prototypes, and a programming language needs something that it does better than the competition and a decent explanation of how cool it is. Every user will prefer Turing completeness (first order functons with no control structures aren't enough) to hot reloading.
