 Currently Adroit is in the early stages of development and has no interpreter
 and no compiler backend, so there is no way to run an Adroit program.
 
+By convention, Adroit source file names end with the `.adroit` extension.

 ## Language
 
-Here is an example function implementing matrix multiplication in Adroit:
+Here is an Adroit function that takes a floating-point number as input, and
+returns the square of that number as output:
+
+```adroit
+def square(x: Float): Float = x * x
+```
+
+Within the body of a function, you can use `let` to give an intermediate value a
+name; then you write the return value of the function after all your
+`let`-bindings:
+
+```adroit
+def foo(x: Float, y: Float): Float =
+  let a = x + y
+  let b = x * y
+  a / b
+```
+
+Indentation is never significant in Adroit, but newlines are sometimes
+significant; as you can see above, you can end a `let`-binding with a newline,
+but if you'd prefer to put more on one line, you can instead use a semicolon:
+
+```adroit
+def tesseract(x: Float): Float = let y = x * x; y * y
+```
+
+Functions can be generic:
+
+```adroit
+def identity[T](x: T): T = x
+```
+
+Adroit currently has three standard library modules:
+
+- `"array"`
+- `"autodiff"`
+- `"math"`
+
+Here is an example using a couple functions from the `"array"` module to
+implement matrix multiplication:
