The project would definitely be well-served by having more documentation, and hopefully we’ll see that grow both incrementally and in spurts. Even writing tutorials, however, must be weighed against competing priorities — such as finishing the work for ABI stability. My hope is we can find a balance of investment in helping more people in the community feel empowered to implement proposals in the compiler/standard library while not diluting focus from delivering ABI stability.
