Would recommend placing example language syntax above the fold. Was tough to have to scroll halfway down the entire site to see any syntax. Nobody cares about the EBNF syntax until they have a feel for the language.

I worked with Jason (creator of Om) at my last job. He's awesome!

> any UTF-8 text (without byte-order marker) defines a valid Om program.
What is the behavior of a program with unmatched braces? I am not sure a stray `}` would fit any of the defined syntax.

Will never not complain about languages not giving code examples. Itβs like writing a charting/UI/style library and showing no examples. Just what?
