Hey, awesome that you replied. There's nothing wrong with making projects based on your beliefs (it's actually pretty cool).
What I was trying to get at more was that, from the readme, there's nothing there to get me to understand what exactly I'm looking at (ie: code samples, a few examples of what you might make with it, ect). Hard to get onboard with a project if there's no way to really tell how you'd go about using it.
- jcburnham 5y agoTotally a fair point. Honestly I'm not sure the Yatima's actually ready for on-boarding language users, as distinct from language contributors, just yet. Like, if you want to hack on a Rust implementation of a functional language and can figure out a lot stuff from the source, we're just about ready for you. If you want to use the language to build software that's useful for some other purpose, I don't think we're quite there yet. We don't even have IO yet! But you're definitely right that once we're ready for people who aren't contributors to use the language we'll need code examples, tutorials, a web repl (it's in progress! https://github.com/yatima-inc/yatima/tree/main/web https://github.com/yatima-inc/yatima/tree/main/web), and all that good stuff. 100% agree on that
