Where Hale is built

In the open, on GitHub. The language is early enough that what you report still changes it.

  • GitHub

    The compiler, the specification and the pond libraries live under github.com/hale-lang. Issues and discussions are the channel today. The most useful report is a small, reproducible example of something that fought you.

  • What helps most

    Real programs. Write something in Hale and file an issue where the language or the docs got in your way. The pattern catalog and the standard library grow from concrete use.

  • Before you start

    Read the guide and the style guide, and browse pond for the library shapes to mirror.

  • Not yet

    A chat space and a formal contribution guide. Open an issue meanwhile. Early questions are welcome.
