I'm trying to decide what program I should show on the home page of my PL. Hello World is too simple to show much syntax. Fibonacci is OK but the reader may not know what print(fib(10)) should show. Maybe print(greet("World")) is better? It gives you a function definition at least.

I'm trying to decide the best voice for PL documentation. Passive: "`let` can be used with destructuring." Reader focused: "You can use `let` with destructuring." Describing the PL: "FooLang supports destructuring with `let`." Anyone have opinions or best practices?

I'm designing a programming language and trying to decide the type of `let x = 1;`. Should it be Unit or Int? Advantage of Int: really convenient when evaluating snippets in a REPL. Advantage of Unit: It's much less confusing when type inference runs on an incomplete function.
