This is certainly how I am sometimes. I will stop to check things, but it breaks the flow. And, as comments here point out, docs are a big issue. What isn't always clear is how much effort they take to create. With a small team, it's a constant struggle for where to allocate resources. Right now, Red's priorities are based on deliverable functionality.

Thanks Greg! That is well understood and fine by me. I just don't want to see Red's doc to end up like Rebol's. Honestly, it is probably a non-trivial factor for why it never took off.

Still, https://doc.red-lang.org/en/ has some nice docs, and more are in the works.
There's also momentum. They want to go write a quick comment and type their thoughts as they come -- not stop and Google things.
