Janet looks really interesting. How did you go about learning it?
- cfiggers 3y agoI learned it mostly just by reading through the official documentation[0], but also by looking at code examples in the test suite of the compiler itself at janet-lang/janet[1], the official contrib library at janet-lang/spork[2], and hanging out in the community chatroom on gitter[3]. Recently, one of the veterans in the community published an online beginner-focused book called "Janet for Mortals" that I wholeheartedly recommend: https://janet.guide https://janet.guide Aside from that, the community and ecosystem around Janet is still very much developing. I don't know of any really good tutorials on YouTube, for example, and while I know of a blog or two there aren't many. So there's totally a niche for someone to create new content, if that's something you're interested in doing.
