What i can only see , it is just some document.
But as programming language. said open source, Where is the source code.

Or why you called it Open Source.

Am i wrong to understand what is the opensource.

Hey , I am happy to open source Power-FX (But only the document open source)

How did you feel like it ?

it's a "low code" programming language, the source is in the readme

"A start on the language documentation is available in the docs folder. As with the implementation, it is being extracted from the Power Apps documentation and generalized and that too is going to take some time."

  • From the readme

as bryan canthrill said multiple times, one of the worst corporate anti pattern is to announce an open source product without the source code. when you're ready to release it, throw the code at the same time.

It would be very nice to have a roadmap with rough target dates for when the parts of the implementation will be available. Power Fx is very interesting, but writing a custom implementation of the language for use in a product is pointless if Microsoft's implementation will be open sourced a few quarters later. Likewise, if it's going to be years before the Microsoft implementation is available then a custom implementation makes more sense.

Currently this is the only source file as far as I can see. The rest is just docs :)

If you want to create a parser, the project is open source, I'm sure they'd love some contributions 👍 (Mind you, i too find it funny it was released without any source lol)
