When I start with a language, I want two things: a
compiler/interpreter, and online documentation. (A book would be
equivalent to the latter, but I tend to prefer to read things online.)
Asking questions comes later; first, I want to get a comprehension for
the language's features. By the time I join a list like this, I want
to be able to understand the answers I get.
