We’ve set ourselves the goal of implementing a read-transform-output process in roons Let’s start with the output.
hello world?
When learning a programming language, the traditional first program is to make the computer output hello world.
We could do this by writing on our marbles:
Hooray! We wrote a program that outputs hello world
But… roons can’t read the letters written on the marbles. This means that there is no usable information stored in these marbles — roons can’t treat them any differently.
It’s like searching for a video on your phone. If you wrote the name of the video in permanent marker on the screen, the phone can’t do anything with that information. It needs the information to be represented in a format it can manipulate.
We need to find a way to represent information such that roons can read it, manipulate it, and output it.
