Urbit has three programming layers: [Nock](dev/nock) (combinator nano-VM),
|
|
|
|
|
[Hoon](dev/hoon) (strict functional language), and [Arvo](dev/arvo) (functional
|
|
|
|
|
OS).

|
|
To code in Urbit, the least you need to learn is Hoon, plus a
|
|
|
|
|
little bit of Arvo. Nock is a sort of functional assembly
|
|
|
|
|
language -- you don't need to know it, but it's useful to.
|
|
|
|
|
Nock is also the easiest thing in the world to learn.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can program for Arvo without knowing much about Arvo
|
|
|
|
|
internals, but again it helps. But you need to know Hoon.

Don't worry, it's easier than it looks.

Alas, the developer doc is still under construction. We'll have

|
|
|
more soon.
