Since all CGP features work only at compile-time, it provides the same
5959
_zero-cost abstraction_ advantage as Rust. Applications do not have to sacrifice
60-
any runtime overhead for using CGP in the code base.

any runtime overhead for using CGP in the code base.
61+
62+
# Current Status
63+
64+
As of end of 2024, CGP is still in _early-stage_ development, with many
65+
rough edges in terms of documentation, tooling, debugging techniques,
66+
community support, and ecosystem.
67+
68+
As a result, you are advised to proceed _at your own risk_ on using CGP in
69+
any serious project. Note that the current risk of CGP is _not_ technical,
70+
but rather the limited support you may get when encoutering any challenge
71+
or difficulty in learning or using CGP.
72+
73+
Currently, the target audience for CGP are primarily early adopters and
74+
[contributors](#contribution), preferrably with strong background in
75+
_functional programming_.
76+
77+
# Getting Started
78+
79+
The best way to get started is to start reading the book
80+
[Context-Generic Programming Patterns](https://patterns.contextgeneric.dev/).
81+
You can also learn about how CGP works by looking at real world projects
82+
such as [Hermes SDK](https://github.com/informalsystems/hermes-sdk/).
83+
84+
Also check out the [Resources](/resources) page to find out more resources
85+
for learning CGP.
86+
87+
# Contribution
88+
89+
We are looking for any contributor who can help promote CGP to the wider
90+
Rust ecosystem. The core concepts and paradigms are stable enough for
91+
use in production, but we need contribution on improving documentation
92+
and tooling.
93+
94+
You can also help promote CGP by writing tutorials, give feedback,
95+
ask questions, and share about CGP on social media.
96+
97+
# Acknowledgement
98+
99+
CGP is invented by [Soares Chen](https://maybevoid.com/), with learnings and
100+
inspirations taken from many related programming languages and paradigms,
101+
particularly Haskell.
102+
103+
The development of CGP would not have been possible without strong support
104+
from my employer, [Informal Systems](https://informal.systems/). In particular,
105+
CGP was first introduced and evolved from the
106+
[Hermes SDK](https://github.com/informalsystems/hermes-sdk/) project,
107+
which uses CGP to build a highly modular relayer for inter-blockchain communication.
108+
(p.s. we are also hiring [Rust engineers](https://informalsystems.bamboohr.com/careers/57)
109+
to work on Hermes SDK and CGP!)
