Reference

From SlateWiki

Here is all of the Slate reference material:

The Language Reference Manual (http://slate.tunes.org/doc/progman/), also in Postscript (http://slate.tunes.org/doc/progman.ps) and PDF (http://slate.tunes.org/doc/progman.pdf) formats. This covers the basic syntax, semantics, and core libraries of the system.

There are also papers in development explaining the system (http://slate.tunes.org/doc/mobius/) and user interface (http://slate.tunes.org/doc/ui/) designs in terms of their motivations, decisions, and source systems. Detailed notes are kept in the doc/ directory (http://slate.tunes.org/cgi-bin/darcs.cgi/main/doc/?=browse) of the main Slate repository until they are releasable.

Some relatively recent output of these reference guides are kept in http://slate.tunes.org/doc/.

TODO's

  • Increased documentation of literal syntax. Notably numeric literals and other things like Associations.
  • In a general sense I think more examples would be very helpful. Examples of Macros for instance.
  • A section on reflection would be helpful. For example, how can I query an object for its method list? Does this even make sense? If not perhaps explain why not.
