The Book of Frankie
For a programming language to become successful, or at least known to more than 2 people, a book is needed. Frankie Programming Language is a programming language born by stitching together my favourite programming languages, Ruby, Python, FORTRAN, and R. I decided to freeze Frankie updates on v1.21.0 and start writing the book, which I call, in a friendly way, The Book of Frankie . While writing…
Frankie Programming Language, a unique amalgamation of Ruby, Python, FORTRAN, and R, was conceived to create a programming language that could be recognized beyond just a couple of individuals. The creator of Frankie, Atejada, decided to lock Frankie's updates at v1.21.0, and began penning a book, affectionately named "The Book of Frankie".
During the writing process, Atejada encountered several bugs and identified areas for enhancement in Frankie. Consequently, the current version of Frankie stands at v1.22.2, and it will remain unchanged indefinitely, barring bug fixes. The creator's intention is to make "The Book of Frankie" an exhaustive reference guide for Frankie developers. In pursuit of this objective, Atejada utilized Quarto on RStudio, a tool with which they were previously unfamiliar.
"The Book of Frankie" boasts 28 chapters and extends over 206 pages, providing ample content for readers. The book is not yet published; Atejada needs valuable feedback from reviewers before it can be made available for purchase. Awaiting publication, Atejada invites readers to provide their input via the website once it is ready.
For those who have yet to explore Frankie, the language can be easily installed using Homebrew. The command to install Frankie is: brew tap atejada/frankie brew trust atejada/frankie brew install frankie.
Atejada extends an invitation to potential beta testers for Frankie. By becoming a beta tester, your name will be acknowledged in "The Book of Frankie" as a contributor. Beta testers are required to submit bug reports regarding the book or Frankie itself. To apply, simply clap this story, share it (optional), and leave a comment indicating your interest in becoming a beta tester.
Following this, send an email to atejada-at-gmail.com with the subject line "Frankie Beta Tester". Up to ten fortunate beta testers will receive a complimentary copy of the book, so don't delay in applying.
