the ~mardev docs |
by ~master-morzod
The universe of Urbit is utterly foreign. Galactic identities abound. Layers of neologisms, runes, and lapidary conventions combine with disorienting effect, even to -- no, especially to the experienced programmer. There are many resources to study, and endless paths within. Most are necessary, none are themselves sufficient.
These docs are merely supplemental, harboring no dillusions of completeness or supercession. But there are benefits to re-explanation -- to different words. This is an attempt to support the practical study of Urbit: first with a re-examination of Hoon and its docs, then with a narrative reference to its features and capabilities, from simple scripts to full-blown apps. Arranged in ascending order of difficulty, these docs (will *) target the familiar, if not yet capable Urbit afficianado.
* This is entirely a work-in-progress -- subject to revision, replacement, or outright disappearance.
By way of introduction:
- the Urbit overview
- a welcome video
- a response to common objections
Or, for those who prefer to dive deep without oxygen:
- Curtis Yarvin's infamous LambdaConf talk (official and bootleg recordings)
- the Urbit whitepaper
