# Silk Wiki

The Silk Wiki is the learning-first, example-driven side of the Silk
documentation set.

Use it when you want:

- a practical explanation of a concept,
- examples that show how a feature feels in real code,
- a gentler progression than the full reference material.

Choose the layer that matches your goal:

- [Wiki](/silk/wiki/) — guided explanations and compact examples,
- [Docs](/silk/docs/) — canonical language, stdlib, and toolchain docs,
- [Spec](/silk/spec/2026/) — full language/specification mirror.

## Minimal shape

```silk
import { println } from "std/io";

fn main () -> int {
  println("hello from silk");
  return 0;
}
```
