Now that robin-language.org is shutting down pr. 30 april 2021 - is the documentation and robin programming tool being transferred to Microsoft sites?

 

PAD is build for user friendliness, but some of us are heavy users of RPA, scripting and programming tools/languages, where it can be preferred to view it in a less UI form. An "advanced mode" could be very useful for larger processes

    Robin language
    I am using DevOps approaches to version control the Power Automate solutions. In this journey, I discovered PAD, and more specifically Robin scripts at the heart of the workflows.
     
    I definitely find version controlling Robin and even editing it (as you would any other source code) a lot more comfortable and sustainable than the front end. The analogy is like writing an enterprise system in Scratch. You can do it, but you probably shouldn't. There is a tipping point when you need to embrace DevSecOps and good ol' SDLC methods.
     
    If anyone has a copy of the old language reference documentation from way back, I would be really grateful. Right now I'm resorting to prompting ChatGPT to generate the reference as if it was provided. Works, but I'd prefer to have the original for reference too.

    @jpapadim Do you know the answer to this question? Is there documentation available? And does an XML for Notepad++ formatting exist?

    Re: Robin language

    As of this very moment, if you copy a Flow and paste it to notepad it looks to be in Robin. I pasted some code from the Robin docs on github and it worked perfectly. Too bad all the details and documentation about the language are no longer available except for some basic examples on github.
