+- The [basic usage](docs/BASIC.md) document lays out the fundamental semantics of Puck.
 - The [syntax](docs/SYNTAX.md) document provides a deeper and formal look into the grammar of Puck.
 - The [type system](docs/TYPES.md) document gives an in-depth analysis of Puck's extensive type system. <!-- and its relationship to classes and other abstractions. -->
 - The [memory management](docs/MEMORY_MANAGEMENT.md) document gives an overview of Puck's memory model. <!-- which is considered a mashup of the models pioneered by Lobster, Rust, and Nim. -->
