Make hello example simpler

[richardanaya]

I looked into this project and it was cognitive overload of what was happening. I think a simpler example would give someone a clearer picture whats going on.

i think there's a need for a much more structured documentation anyway, in the form of an mdbook

[richardanaya]

that would be awesome!

I strongly agree. I'm one of those people who learns languages by devouring the reference manual, and for me K & R is exactly what such a manual should look like.

Even something as simple as a BNF-ish grammar would be very helpful. Trying to guess the syntax by looking at examples just doesn't work for me.

@johnwcowan see the formal PEG here https://github.com/zetzit/zz/blob/master/src/zz.pest

let me know if it is readable. i too enjoy learning languages from their formal definition

[johnwcowan]

Thanks, this is great!

We've added some examples to a repository here: https://github.com/little-core-labs/zz-examples and in an effort to share ZZ on Twitter, we've been sharing through an unofficial account: https://twitter.com/zetztweets
