Documentation and users

[Timmy Douglas]

I updated some bits from the progman (progman.pdf). If you get the
latest sources. You can cd doc && make progman.pdf to create the file
(it seems the .eps dependencies aren't automatically built yet). The
only thing that has changed though is how delegates work. Delegates
used to be slots in an object and they were ordered through something
in the objects map somehow (I forget), but now they're just an array
in the objects map. I think this way it's easier to understand and
use. Generally not too much has changed from an end-users point of
view.

The mobius.pdf/lyx/ps is another story. I took a look at the one in
the old slate repository and things have changed so much that it'd
almost be easier to write it from scratch (maybe in another format?).
I'm going to save that for another day and people who ask me questions
about the implementation on IRC will usually get their answer in a new
wiki page on the google groups (e.g. http://code.google.com/p/slate-language/wiki/SlateMemory).

I think a polished tutorial might be useful to some people and I think
a 'learn by example' would probably be the most useful for people who
are looking at slate.

Next we need some more users. I think some of the feedback might
motivate me to fix or improve some of the lacking parts in slate
(outside of writing test cases?). It would be nice if we had a good
application which was written in slate to serve as a benchmark or
something since all we have right now are a bunch of libraries.
