alt Hacker NewsThis is hands down some of the most constructive feedback we’ve received. You hit the nail on the head.
We definitely fell into the author’s trap of structuring docs "bottom-up" (Prerequisites -> Basic Syntax -> Advanced Concepts) rather than leading with our actual core innovation: choreography.
We are restructuring the main README/docs front page right now to lead immediately with a concrete example of choreographic execution (e.g., atomic multi-node orchestration / client-server emitting) before getting into standard syntax.
Really appreciate you taking the time to dig into the docs/ dir to pull this out it’s a huge help for our presentation.

You should still keep doing the bottom-up approach for the rest of the docs. Just update the README first paragraph or two as the gp says.
you should really put some of the content in RESEARCH.md to the README.md. The language's core idea shouldn't just be known to contributors.

You should put these up front also.
I think it's quite rude to reply to a well thought out comment with AI slop
Lmfao.
This is not an LLM talking but a kid who is learning to write with them, if you look closely. Still concerning
this REALLY reads like claude responded to this comment, so I really hope that I'm just mistaken and you just naturally talk like this
You should avoid LLMs in your communications.
