The home page would be a lot more compelling if it was easy to find code examples and a tutorial--digging around all I could find was a rather opaque (at least for a beginner) reference manual, and I had to click on the "screenshots" link before I could find examples of what Ciao syntax is like and how one may put a program together in the language. The "Other Documentation" has a bunch of self-labeled out-of-date items and rather academic papers in PDF format. Not ideal!
It's too bad because this sounds like an interesting language which I'd like to learn more about (which I still will, don't get me wrong).
- Sodel 12y agoVery odd placement, but the code examples are posted under "screenshots".
- vegedor 12y agoIf you know prolog (or erlang, afaict), you might have a pretty good idea of what syntax to expect. If not, the syntax wouldn't explain the semantics very well. Edit: A list refering to literature about declarative programming in prolog might be in order, like sources. It reminds me of many academic papers, that just assume a certain level of preparation. Yet, the "consultation"-line at the bottom implies business intentions.
