Thanks for pointing it out, but I knew that the best way to show off a language is with examples. That's why there are nine sample Andl scripts comprising dozens of individual examples in the Samples folder. My guess is if that you're asking me to write examples, the real lesson is that I didn't make them easy enough to find.
I have a formal grammar, but I don't expect anyone to read that. More and better examples is the way to go.

My guess is that, if your objective is to attract readers, your time will be best spent composing a few examples. Formal grammar will be needed in the long run but only the real geeks will read it. Many people can read a few examples and figure out whether it's worth investigating the language further, whereas a formal grammar or a full tutorial would take more time to read than they would be willing to invest.
