Website rebuilt from scratch based on analysis of 11 beloved language
websites (Elm, Zig, Gleam, Swift, Kotlin, Haskell, OCaml, Crystal, Roc,
Rust, Go).
New website structure:
- Homepage with hero, playground, three pillars, install guide
- Language Tour with interactive lessons (hello world, types, effects)
- Examples cookbook with categorized sidebar
- API documentation index
- Installation guide (Nix and source)
- Sleek/noble design (black/gold, serif typography)
Also includes:
- New stdlib/json.lux module for JSON serialization
- Enhanced stdlib/http.lux with middleware and routing
- New string functions (charAt, indexOf, lastIndexOf, repeat)
- LSP improvements (rename, signature help, formatting)
- Package manager transitive dependency resolution
- Updated documentation for effects and stdlib
- New showcase example (task_manager.lux)

- Fix parse_list_expr to skip newlines between list elements
- Add `pub` keyword to all exported functions in stdlib/html.lux
- Change List.foldl to List.fold (matching built-in name)
- Update weaknesses document with fixed issues
The module import system now works correctly. This enables:
- import stdlib/html to work as expected
- html.div(), html.render() etc. to be accessible
- Multi-line list expressions in Lux source files

Website design:
- Translucent black (#0a0a0a) with gold (#d4af37) accents
- Strong serif typography (Playfair Display, Source Serif Pro)
- Glass-morphism cards with gold borders
- Responsive layout with elegant animations
Content:
- Landing page with hero, code demo, value props, benchmarks
- Effects-focused messaging ("No surprises. No hidden side effects.")
- Performance benchmarks showing Lux matches C
- Quick start guide
Technical:
- Added HTML rendering functions to stdlib/html.lux
- Created Lux-based site generator (blocked by module import issues)
- Documented Lux weaknesses discovered during development:
- Module import system not working
- FileSystem effect incomplete
- No template string support
The landing page HTML/CSS is complete and viewable.

- Add stdlib/http.lux with:
- Response builders (httpOk, httpNotFound, etc.)
- Path pattern matching with parameter extraction
- JSON construction helpers (jsonStr, jsonNum, jsonObj, etc.)
- Add examples/http_api.lux demonstrating a complete REST API
- Add examples/http_router.lux showing the routing pattern
- Update stdlib/lib.lux to include http module
The framework provides functional building blocks for web apps:
- Route matching: pathMatches("/users/:id", path)
- Path params: getPathSegment(path, 1)
- Response building: httpOk(jsonObj(...))
Note: Due to current type system limitations with type aliases
and function types, the framework uses inline types rather
than abstract Request/Response types.
