Thinking About Star

This short booklet will introduce you to the Star programming language, what is novel about it and why you should know more.

Star is a modern functional first programming language that has a rich set of features. It is readable, safe and extensible. It supports multiple paradigms including actor based programming, query based programming, and concurrent programming.

The booklet highlights some of the key features of the language and gives extended examples including showing how a semi-conductor factory can be scheduled using Star.

It is intended to showcase some of the features of the language but it is not a full introduction to programming in Star.
