Hi! I've been checking out ur/web. There are some tutorials spread around, and I also checked the samples in the official site. I never really programmed in functional languages, having used Ruby for the last 5 yeasr. But I could grasp most of it.
I did stumbled upon something that I wasn't expecting - the manual and the overwhelming math equations that start on page 20. That just killed my inspiration to go on :( That being said, I think this part would be better put in an Appendix or something like that, with additional text on what reference material would help understand it. The problem I see there is that the author is assuming the user knows this. Knowledge Syndrome anyone? This made me feel really, really dumb today. But at the same time, I'm willing to understand it now. I could use some help! Could someone point me to any material that would help me understand those equations? I mean, I have no idea how to make sense of them. As a last note -- author, please, consider having the humble non Phd/academic developer in mind. I know ur/web is "not for everyone", but the manual is just too scary as of now. Cheers, - Marcelo.
