it's really frustrating seeing these programming languages websites where you have to click in a million place before you can even see what the code looks like

  Is there an a page with more than a few lines of code to show what actual Pony programs look like?
  • spooneybarger 6y ago
    There are a number of simple examples in the ponyc repo: https://github.com/ponylang/ponyc/tree/master/examples https://github.com/ponylang/ponyc/tree/master/examples You can find a number of pony library projects under the ponylang org on GitHub: https://github.com/ponylang/ https://github.com/ponylang/

      I think you should consider showing some code on the front page, like D [0] or Ruby [1], or maybe have a "Try Pony" button that links to an online playground. 0: https://dlang.org/ https://dlang.org/ 1: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/ https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/

        We do have an online playground! You can try it here: https://playground.ponylang.io/ https://playground.ponylang.io/ It's linked from the page, but we should make it more obvious.

          Even when I knew it was there it took me a while to find it, so yeah, at the very least put it under its own header, first or second one.

      Thanks, exactly what I needed to be confident that I should move on.

    See also the Patterns part of the tutorial. https://patterns.ponylang.io/ https://patterns.ponylang.io/

  Do you have some examples of programming language websites you do like?
  • ccmcarey 6y ago
    Go is probably the best for this, it gives you a REPL on the homepage itself: https://golang.org/ https://golang.org/
    • mrec 6y ago
      And Rust has https://play.rust-lang.org/ https://play.rust-lang.org/ - not a REPL, but a chance to kick the tyres before downloading anything.

    I really like Crystal's website [0]. It lets the code to the talking and has nice big buttons for "Install", "Learn", and "Try Online". 0: https://crystal-lang.org/ https://crystal-lang.org/
