This is likely a generational/cultural issue. Blech documentation seems comprehensive, and those who prefer reading specifications will have no problem with it.
That said, they also do give fairly comprehensive set of examples: https://www.blech-lang.org/docs/examples/ https://www.blech-lang.org/docs/examples/
Looking at a 270+ loc example called 'virtualSafeLock.blc', picking a random initial example. (It's a pain, you have to unzip code archives, but it's there.)
- ReactiveJelly 6y agoIt's not cultural that if you generate static HTML with syntax-highlighted code, the viewer only has to click once, whereas a zip file requires 3 or 4 clicks, plus filesystem namespace, for an un-highlighted version. If you want 100 people to view your website, isn't it fair to spend 50x of your own time as you can save of the viewer's time?
- turbinerneiter 6y agoMaybe they don't want people who refuse to spend 5 minutes on reading the docs, where they would find 3 complete, runnable examples.

- eternalban 6y agoIf I am shopping around for an embedded systems language, I am more interested in reading about the runtime, any limitations, and the language spec. Technical considerations are top of the list. Thus "cultural".
