The Manual
Welcome. The Book of Loaf is the scripture. These are the rules.
If you came here from the lessons, you have already met the cat. These pages are for after the introductions ~ when you want to know what every keyword does, what the borrow checker is actually shouting about, and which decisions in this language are intentional versus simply too late to change.
Docs target lolrust 0.2.0.
