I am a 24 years old college student, come from northern China. I have a huge great interest on your programming language. But there is a problem that I do not know how to fly your plane. So i came here, ask you, sir , do you have any material to learn it? My country is very poor, and only I becoming a computer engineer can save my country. Please help me and my country, thank you.

First I'm glad to see someone admit and appreciate my works. However, the PiLang, as a production of "military race", was not designed for real world use.

PiLang almost copied the type system of JavaScript, binding mechanism of Python and worst part of Pascal grammars. These features were simply designed for "military race", and can be weird when programming some applications. What's more, PiLang used some low efficient internal implementaions, which can make it run significantly slower than major programming languages, even slower than Python.

So as you can see, this project has been discontinued for a while, and no new code or documentation will be added. And since PiLang is something not designed for real-world use, it is not a good choice for you if you'd like to be a computer engineer.

Finally, as far as I know your country is (over all) not poor, otherwise you won't be capable to spend 5 thousand CNY for non-necessary goods.
