If you've already got it installed and have compiled an example program to confirm that your installation works, then I advise reading through this in order until you get confused. Then you should write a program to play with the confusing concept until you finally understand it.
Anyway, that advice probably isn't very helpful if you're not a coder, because many of those concepts might be unfamiliar to you. I'll write more as I understand more.
edit: okay, the arithmetic syntax is very C-like. This shouldn't be too bad.
edit2: assignment statements in this are pretty odd.
edit3: okay, what exactly do you want to do with this language? _________________ Taking a break. |

Jeez, see, my inability to understand anything about sound or music puts me in an akward place here. _________________ Taking a break. |

Oh my, this looks very similar to C, but it's backwards.
Also, it seems that you need to learn all the uses for the "Chuck" operator, which is this: =>
For instance
Let's say we wanna make an integer number and give it an initial value of 0, we'd write
In C, this would be
Once we've made the variable, we can do a bit of math.
Here we've added 5 to our initial value of zero and boom, x now = 5.
Is this the sort of thing that you're looking for, or am I talking down to you? I don't wanna insult your intelligence, but damned if I don't find this business with the chuck operator mighty peculiar.
Also, what's with all this associative arrays shit lately? I saw that crap last week when I was looking at the D language with Decinoge!
The control structures, save for this "until" loop, are nearly identical to C control structures. By this I mean the while, for, and do/while loops, among others. Basically, you can generally assume that things that are followed by brackets are control structures:
Honestly man, I need to know how much of this shit already makes sense to you. Just look at the table of contents in the Language Specification and make me a short list of things that do and do not make sense to you.
Also, I am horribly suited for this. I apologize. _________________ Taking a break. |

Shit, I understand what maybe two or three of the code examples do. Someone who understands both code and music should help this man, because I am out of my league. Music and sound are things that I know all of nothing about. _________________ Taking a break. |

Yeah, that's why I gave up. When I don't even understand the basic necessity of the language, it's pretty much time to hang up the gloves. _________________ Taking a break. |
