-* `nomsu.moon`/`nomsu.lua` - The nomsu compiler. The compiler is written in [Moonscript](http://moonscript.org/), but a lua version of the file is provided in this repository for convenience.

 * `utils.moon`/`utils.lua` - A set of utility functions used by nomsu.moon. A lua version of this is also provided for convenience.
 * `consolecolors.lua` - Lua module that defines ANSI color codes for colored console output (used internally in nomsu.moon).
-* `examples/how_do_i.nom` - A simple walkthrough of some of the features of nomsu, written in nomsu. This is a good place to start.

 * `lib/collections.nom` - Core library definitions related to collections, like lists and dictionaries.
 * `lib/control_flow.nom` - Core library definitions related to control flow, like `if` statements and `for` loops.
 * `lib/core.nom` - Core library file that loads other core library files. Files are loaded in dependency order.
-* `lib/metaprogramming.nom` - Core library essential functionality for metaprogramming, including macros to define macros, rules to define rules, and other mind-bending Escher-like paradoxes.
