Currently I'm torn between adding more documentation or adding a source map so the IC Housing will tell you what line in the Slang source the error is on instead of the compiled IC10

I'm definitely working on it! I had to prioritize a couple of bugs first. I'm actively using this mod as well so I can work on bugs and pain points that might be missed by the community

Well this is pretty great. My only feedback, and i'm sure you're working on it, would be a wiki with slang syntax and specific documentation. I can get around cause i'm familiar with C based languages, but having a resource like the in game list of variables and functions would be helpful.

I could probably also work on some "context awareness" in the compiler to see if you are trying to pass a string into a batched function and automatically hash it for you

As for functions, I'm working on doing a code refactor of the tokenizer right now. When that's done and I get the rest of the IC10 built-in functions in, I'll work on fixing up the ABI for functions :)

Thanks for trying Slang!

So IC10 really doesn't have a concept of "Strings". So in Slang if you want to use a string you generally are going to want to use the `hash("SomeString")` function. As of _now_ LogicTypes and other things _are_ handled as strings in Slang.

Such as:

[code]
const solarPanels = hash("StructureSolarPanelDual");

lbn(solarPanels, "Charge", "Sum");
[/code]

In the future I will be strongly typing the structure names, logic types, and batch modes so that autocomplete works as intended and misuse will cause compiler errors in game :)

hey, congrats on the beta release! i really really love using this. it's reduced the friction and slimmed the difficulty curve of getting into stationeers coding for me quite significantly. the same tasks that I was shooting for took less than half the time because of how approachable this is.

i think you mention it somewhere in the stationpedia where functions don't quite work as intended and i'm noticing that as well (various issues with scope-awareness and variable usage). i'm really excited for when this fully implemented!

i also couldn't figure out if there was a way to set strings or really use strings at all yet? looking forward to the feature parity for IC10.

thanks so much for making this and i hope you continue to work on it!
