Is there any documentation for the Wren language, or other documentation on who to integrate the system into a larger system?

darius commented 10 years ago

No, I'm afraid there's just the comments in source code, plus the bits of examples.

I'm sorry for the late reply; I was on a trip where lots went wrong with connectivity, computers, etc. It's likely to be a long time before I get to this.

Thank you for getting back to me on this. There is a lot about the syntax that isn't clear at all. Is white space relevant? What is up with the * unary operator? The complete set of operators (I presume ult is unsigned less than, but honestly there is no way to know), and so many more questions.

I could carefully go through all the source and examples, and then experiment; but I don't even have enough information to tell me if that is worth it. There just isn't enough there there; which was the answer in and of itself.

Obviously there is only so much I can complain. You were good enough to put this out there, and for that I thank you; but a little documentation would be nice. If you ever find a free hour (and I doubt it would take more than that), please go through and make a quick list of core syntax, operators, and builtins. That would go a long way.

All the best Jock
