How to get started with learning about babylon

I am not sure if this is the right place for this question, so please let me know if I should put it somewhere else. I am really new to Babylon but I would like to learn more about it, and maybe even work on it/contribute to it a little. I downloaded the sources from this Github repo, and played around with it some, however I am wondering if any of you more experienced users could tell me what would be good to get started with so that I could learn about how it works.

Thank you so much!

Hey @pudility! We really appreciate you taking the time to report an issue. The collaborators
on this project attempt to help as many people as possible, but we're a limited number of volunteers,
so it's possible this won't be addressed swiftly.

If you need any help, or just have general Babel or JavaScript questions, we have a vibrant Slack
community that typically always has someone willing to help. You can sign-up here
for an invite.

@pudility Hey there 👋 ! In general, beyond checking out the obvious (like the README, CONTRIBUTING, etc)... the babel-handbook by @thejameskyle is a great resource for both a very high-level overview of Babylon and understanding its relationship with Babel.

For me personally, I did the boneheaded approach of just diving in the code and spending tons of time experimenting with astexplorer, which you will find to be an invaluable resource. (Still learning something new, every day!)

I know all of us on the team are definitely interested in anything we're missing/lacking when it comes to getting new users/contributors onboard, so definitely let us know! As always, if you have any questions, feel free to join our slack channel.

Always happy to help in any way we can, and looking forward to your contributions!

(Going to close this for now, as there's nothing really actionable.)

Thank you so much! I will make sure to check out all of those resources. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me as a new contributor (hopefully).
