If you had more complex needs, you could also explore the zip file module/program loading feature. I think that’s present in 8.0. I could provide some more details if that’s of interest. Bill Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 20, 2021, at 1:44 AM, Chris Angelico wrote: > > On Wed, Oct 20, 2021

I’ve never seen this site before; I don’t see any reason why there couldn’t be a Pike entry. Though (I’m sure this is obvious by browsing the site) I think the intent is more of a one page summary than a comprehensive set of documentation. Could be the perfect opportunity to take on a

This is a superset of a message I sent directly to Duke. I think it would be useful to have a wider conversation around whether there’s much to be done to improve Pike’s standing in the world. The general assertion that getting started with pike is difficult because there’s no documentation or
