## Introduction ## Introduction
tricu (pronounced "tree-shoe") is a programming language experiment in Haskell. It is fundamentally based on the application of [Triage Calculus](https://olydis.medium.com/a-visual-introduction-to-tree-calculus-2f4a34ceffc2), an extended form of [Tree Calculus](https://github.com/barry-jay-personal/typed_tree_calculus/blob/main/typed_program_analysis.pdf), terms, but minimal syntax sugar is included. tricu (pronounced "tree-shoe") is a programming language experiment in Haskell.

tricu is the word for "tree" in Lojban: `(x1) is a tree of species/cultivar (x2)`. tricu is the word for "tree" in Lojban: `(x1) is a tree of species/cultivar (x2)`.
I have fully embraced the slopmachine (LLM-assisted development) for this project. Nothing is stable or sacred. We will discover sanity at the end of the journey but we won't strive for it until then. I have fully embraced the slopmachine (LLM-assisted development) for this project.

This README.md is human written. No other .md file will be until stabilization.

Tree Calculus was discovered by [Barry Jay](https://github.com/barry-jay-personal/blog). The addition of Triage rules were suggested by [Johannes Bader](https://johannes-bader.com/). Johannes is also the creator of [treecalcul.us](https://treecalcul.us) which has a great intuitive code playground using his language LambAda.
