Thanks a lot for your nice words! :) Regarding 'parse', it's absolutely in my to-do list. Although, already, the language by its very nature has the means to do it (even you, as a user, could) - but I have to prioritize things. Regarding reference, it's obviously a work-in-progress. However, what you mean is probably already available @ GitHub Wiki: https://github.com/arturo-lang/arturo/wiki Have a look :) Looking forward to hearing your feedback. Anything is welcome, ideas or suggestions :)

hey, I was looking for even? in the language wiki https://github.com/arturo-lang/arturo/wiki , as in: if? even? x -> print [x "is even"] but I couldn't find it in Arithmetic, Comparison, Core, Logic, or Numbers - I figured those were the most obvious places to look. I was wondering specifically if this example loop 1..10 'x [ if? even? x -> print [x "is even"] else -> print [x "is odd"] ] could be rewritten loop 1..10 'x [ even? x -> print [x "is even"] odd? x -> print [x "is odd"] ] and what other number checking things one could do - like decimal?, positive? negative?
