Hierarchical Language

You never can tell about essays. I thought the idea of a hierarchical language would make a nice little essay, and instead it exploded into a whole mess of stuff.

The first thing you ought to do is go read about hierarchical namespaces.

After that, you should read through the four subessays in order. (The subessays, as usual, appear in the lower left; the first one, for example, is The Basic Idea.) There are also a few essays underneath the subessays, but you don't need to look for them, I refer to them as I go.
