A Tour of Luce

An introduction in ten chapters. Each one is built around programs you can copy into a file and run, and each ends with a pointer to the next.

1. Hello, Luce: installing, a first program, a first project
2. Values: bindings, numbers, text and conversions
3. Collections and loops: lists, maps, sets, tuples, for and match
4. Functions: parameters, defaults, named arguments, lambdas and closures
5. Structs and enums: your own value types and their methods
6. Classes: shared objects, their lifetime, and closing resources
7. Absence and failure: optionals, errors and traps
8. Interfaces and generics: code that works on many types
9. Projects and packages: modules, dependencies and tests
10. Workers, and where next: work in parallel, and what lies beyond the Tour

The Tour assumes you have programmed before, most likely in Python, and compares Luce with it where that helps.
