By reading the docs, it is not clear what is the difference between array and list. And the syntax of creating array is not introduced ([>1,2]). So please make it easy to understand in the docs.

Hey @gnudles - We generally open website/documentation issues at https://github.com/grain-lang/grain-lang.org

I'll transfer this for you. Additionally, documentation work usually falls pretty low on our priority list compared to building the actual language, tooling and compiler.

Please don't come into the project out of the blue and lecture the authors on how to spend their time. I assure you we discuss allocation amongst the team.

I didn't mean to offend you Sir, nor to lecture anybody. I'm sorry if it sounded like that. I just wanted to make a point that documenting is not only for the sake of new comers, but it also helps the developer. It is sort of rubber-duck debug. Have a nice day Sir, keep smiling :) we all have good intentions...

No worries, internet conversation is hard. We're actually going to be rolling out a new documentation generator that should alleviate some of this pressure for the stdlib and then maybe we can find some more time for the guides.
