# Documentation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Documentation is broken up into different parts, more or less in the order a newcomer should read them to get familiar
|
|
|
|
|
with the language.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* [syntax/data structures](/doc/syntax.md) - Ginger is a lisp-based language, so if you know the syntax
|
|
|
|
|
for the available data structures you know the syntax for the language
|
|
|
|
|
itself. There's very few data structures, meaning there's minimal syntax.
