Programmers
For a programmer
You write the application; Softanza is the part of it that reads like a sentence.
Where to start
The Start page: the install, then your first program.
Your path
Every step carries its stage, in the words of the Estate page: built, in construction, specification, designed, named.
You write the application you were asked for, and Softanza is the part of it that reads like a sentence, is correct in every script, and scales from one value to many cores.

- Write it all in Haro, the language that follows. in construction · see: Platform
