        # The Way to Jai

A lightweight way to discover and learn the Jai programming language. All programs work with the latest version of the Jai compiler.

This is a work in progress. It grew out of my personal Jai notes from the Jai videos and other Jai primers that emerged over time.

If you find mistakes, ambiguities, things that are not clear, please create an issue.

The text is backed by some 300 complete working Jai examples and growing. They are all tested at each new version of the Jai compiler, so this text and code will never get outdated.

Many thanks to Daniel Tan for setting up the [Jai-Community](https://jai.community/) and the [Jai Wiki](https://github.com/Jai-Community/Jai-Community-Library/wiki).

Also thanks to mehlian, seneca, ramin-asadi-2021 and Jakub Arnold(@darthdeus) for their remarks and contributions.

[Text content adapted and code tested to compile/run with Jai version beta 0.1.072]
