Idioms - xkp/Doc GitHub Wiki

In xs-speak an idiom refers to a unit of code translation. Idioms will take a part of your app (both data and code) and generate native code for it. Some idioms may generate entire (standalone) applications while others just process specific pieces of a lager app.

These are currently our working idioms, with more coming:
