Rhombus Documentation

Hi wonderful people :waving_hand:

Does the documentation generator need a dedicated Racket --> Rhombus translation in the background, or can it create the existing documentation with the present tools?

Considering that Rhombus cannot be advertised as productive, or at least educational language, do I wonder how the plan forward looks like :slightly_smiling_face:

Rhombus is documented with a Scribble variant for Rhombus, which you can read about here: Rhombus Scribble

So I take this as a "the existing documentation needs to be rewritten from scratch"

Is this for every language so? I mean, if I develop a language that has lots of identical features, just with a different syntax:

Wouldn't it make sense, to reuse the documentation?

Typed Racket, for example, which reuses most of Racket, doesn't provide different documentation for eg print. So it all depends on what you want to reuse. If you're writing a whole new language often it's better for users to have self-contained documentation.
