| Completely new to lisp and arc. Since I have used python for the last few projects, the first thing I tried to do was figure out if there was a builtin "help" operator that maps all the other builtin operators to docstrings. So I could learn the language from the terminal without having to look for separate documentation on the web. Like the help() built-in function in python. Ex. (help +) or (? +). Maybe (help car) or (? car) evaluates to "returns the first element of a list". Maybe (? nil) returns a list of all scoped procedures, so you know what to investigate. Also, if I create procedures I want to distribute and others to reuse, I would want to use the same built-in help operator to comment my docstrings in the same manner as the core. So bots and humans already know the exact heuristic to use for mining how-to info. |
