I say this every other programming language thread: Please, get some code examples up front and center, simple Hello World, and anything that shows whatever strong features your language has for organizing code like classes and so on.

Python, Racket and a few others do this really well. Even on the GitHub a simple short but significant enough code snippet would do wonders.

Maybe the syntax is exactly what I expect and I'll have more interest, or maybe its way off and I don't want to bother. Whatever the case, put some sample code up front and center.



I could add an example to the git README. Currently there is an example on:

https://ki-lang.dev/

https://ki-lang.dev/docs/dev/intro

For a more indept view of the language you will have to see the docs. An overview might not be bad indeed.


Thanks! I didn't see the link, the thread links to GitHub, I think it doesn't hurt to have it on the README even if its just a small amount of code. I now see the language looks somewhat like Go, do you cover differences anywhere between Ki and other languages?


I think the README and website are great. The example code is above the fold!


I think it’s fine. It’s one link away, on the website.

Using the readme as a landing page kitchensink is a GitHubism.
