Thanks for the docs, what a quick and effective feedback !

Let's have a look at the "hello world" :

"Hello world!" println()

It is simple and short but makes no sense to me because the print function takes no argument and doesn't seem linked to the string "Hello world!" it prints.

When a function manipulate data, shouldn't it be passed as argument ? I would understand better:

println("Hello world!")

But maybe it's because it's not the first time I read code.

EDIT : OK, I just read your group post. Thanks.



println() isn't a function, it's a method/message passed to the "Hello world!" string object. The lack of syntax highlighting that (the strange dots) makes it difficult to notice.
