There is minimalism, and then there is a fetish for minimalism. That splash page displays the pathological case of the second.

Even the "documentation" is unhelpful. No hello world? Nothing explaining what this is good for? No "look at this ugly solution in Java, then compare it with this elegant solution in Om"?

Don't make me think! Tell me why I should love this!
