    Our two kids are homeschooled and are generally equally excited to play with all their friends (some homeschooled, some in regular public school, some in private school). I have ye…

    There is a section in GitHub, which is where most of the documentation seems to be anyway. This FAQ is linked directly from the website. https://github.com/agraef/pure-lang/wiki/FA…
