And that's how you write a landing page if you don't want any takers.

Yeah show me the 5-line HTTP server

"The Om language is not:

complete. Although the intent is to develop it into a full-featured language, the software is currently at a very early "proof of concept" stage, requiring the addition of many operations (such as basic number and file operations) and optimizations before it can be considered useful for any real-world purpose. It has been made available in order to demonstrate the underlying concepts and welcome others to get involved in early development."

I am always kind of surprised when I go to a landing page for a language and there isn't any actual code. This is one of my biggest complaints about the rust language page, it feels crazy to me that there's no code and I think this is just a ridiculous choice (and I know this has been brought up before).

The old page had a built-in sandbox. Go used to have a more "Front and center" sandbox too but at least it's there if you scroll down https://go.dev/

So, you're not surprised that this Om page has an extensive section called "Examples", right? https://www.om-language.com/#language__examples__

There is code, search for 'examples'.

It concludes by implementing a fold:

   define
   {
       [Fold]<- {
           rearrange
           {
               rearrange
               {
                   dequote
                   choose
                   quote Result
                   pair pair pair {[Fold]<-} Function Result Remainder
                   Remainder
               }
               {Result Remainder}
               dequote Function Base <-[terms] Source
           }
           {Function Base Source}
        }
   }
   {
       [Fold]<- {[literal]<-} {} {1 2 3}
   }

There is code. Small examples start halfway down the page, and there's one 20-line example. Not much, but it's not accurate to say there's none.

It would be helpful to see any kind of motivation for the project though. Anything at all.

Yeah Om was an extremely widely used Clojurescript library many years ago (maybe still is), and to me that's what this word will always refer to.
jwilber•13m ago
Will never not complain about languages not giving code examples. It’s like writing a charting/UI/style library and showing no examples. Just what?
robotresearcher•9m ago
You overlooked the examples. They might not satisfy you, but there are examples.

I worked with Jason (creator of Om) at my last job. He's awesome!
