Guide

The guide walks from Frothy’s core mental model to the maintained board and FFI surface.

If you have not installed the maintained CLI and editor path yet, start with Install .

  1. 01. What Frothy Is The core mental model: stable slots, lexical code, and a live image.
  2. 02. Values, Names, and Rebinding How Frothy sees values, places, lookup, and stable top-level identity.
  3. 03. Code, Locals, and Blocks How `Code`, lexical blocks, locals, and computed calls fit together.
  4. 04. Control Flow, `Cells`, and Records Conditionals, loops, the narrow array type, and the current shaped-data surface.
  5. 05. Inspection and the Live Workflow Use the prompt to inspect the current image, not just to type code into the void.
  6. 06. Persistence, Boot, and Recovery How `save`, `restore`, `dangerous.wipe`, `boot`, and safe boot fit together.
  7. 07. Projects, Build, and Flash The maintained CLI path for connecting, building, sending, and flashing.
  8. 08. Hardware and the Protoboard Start with the Froth Machine front door, then drop into the lower-level board layers when needed.
  9. 09. Extending with FFI The narrow Frothy/C boundary, project FFI, and board FFI.
  10. 10. Where to Go Next Move from the guide into the reference and the board surface.
