Here’s an early Christmas present for you: the Raven repo is now public! Alongside the open source code, it’s now easy for anyone to try the language out, as described in the docs. If you have node on your system it’s as easy as npm i -g @unkindnesses/raven. If you have VS Code, you can simply install the Raven extension, run “Add Terminal Command” and you’re good to go.
The stocking-fillers are a couple of interactive blog posts that show off Raven’s current features (limited as they are). First the language tour, and second my Advent of Code solutions, which I’ll keep updated as the problems are published.
