aria-docs

🚧 Rebrand in progress: Nitpick is becoming Nitpick. This documentation repo still uses Nitpick names while the migration is underway. Existing docs, examples, man pages, and history are being preserved; source and file-extension renames will happen in later coordinated slices.

Documentation, man pages, and examples for the Nitpick (Nitpick) programming language (v0.18.0).

Contents

• guide/ — Programming guide (362 files): types, functions, control flow, memory model, modules, advanced features, standard library
• guide/npkpkg.md — Package manager usage guide
• man/ — Man page sources and build scripts (man npkc, man npkpkg, etc.)
• examples/ — Example programs demonstrating Nitpick features (69 .aria files)
