Example from 1 languages: Python
class Person (object): def __init__(self, name): self.name = name
Example from 1 languages: PureScript
-- https://github.com/purescript/documentation/blob/master/language/Syntax.md -- Syntax is whitespace sensitive. The general rule of thumb is that declarations which span multiple lines should be indented past the column on which they were first defined on their subsequent lines. foo = bar + baz
Example from 1 languages: FlowchartFun
Node A goes to: Node B
Example from 1 languages: Particles
example title Particle Notation
