From cb670aa6a12f1e162f39a4338713ffe9f71bc0a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wolff Dobson Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2022 09:10:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Make Compiler Explorer easier to find (#2100) Our "Getting Started" section doesn't mention the Compiler Explorer as a first step. Compiler Explorer already has the Carbon explorer installed, so it would save interested folks a lot of time if they just want to try code out before installing a lot of tools to build from scratch. This is a repeat link of the status section, but given the title of this section ("Getting Started") it's quite possible visitors end up here before they read the status section. --- README.md | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 14a81591ed2f..fef699519966 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -266,8 +266,11 @@ semantics onto C++ such as Rust-inspired ## Getting started -You can get started playing with Carbon by checking out the codebase and using -the Carbon explorer: +As there is no compiler yet, to try out Carbon, you can use the Carbon explorer +to interpret Carbon code and print its output.
