5# Hoon syntax
7Hoon's semantics are simple, but unusual. Hoon's syntax is
8complex, and unusual. Sorry.
10An excuse: the normal human brain doesn't have hardware support
11for math, but it does have hardware support for syntax. Learning
12math is harder than it looks. Learning syntax is easier.
14An explanation: the Hoon syntax is trying to solve three serious
15problems in functional syntax design.
17Read the [motivation](motivation) if you care; or go straight to
18the actual [design](design).
