In urbit/docs#55, it was said that these twigs are deprecated. Is that true of all 10? Will they be removed from the language once Arvo has been refactored?
I don't think they're all deprecated. In particular, =~
needs to stay, I don't know what would replace ^.
, and I occasionally find |^
useful.
=~ should be implied at the top level of any parse. It already is in ford.
.^ is obviously just my omission.
|^ is marginal -- opinions may vary...

Ok.
What did you mean by:

You should be able to write a file that's not one twig, but a list of twigs implicitly connected by =>. Everything loaded by %ford, which is anything not a vane or hoon.hoon, already works this way.

The ^ ket and ! zap runes mentioned here are still missing.
I've been reading
hoon.hoon
, and I've come across the following undocumented twigs:
