Have you tried to add Fantom overview to https://learnxinyminutes.com/ ?

That's not a bad idea, it's like a Fantom Syntax Cheatsheet!
I see it as not being all encompassing (as that's what the docs are for) but rather a quick start reference guide.
After writing Syntax Showdown for Java and C# I did begin crafting a cheatsheet that could be used as a starting point. So if anyone is interested in giving it a bash, I can either email it over or stick it on GibHut.

Would be nice to see - looks like you just need to send them a GitHub PR - for any eager souls :)
I've drafted the Beginner section which should be enough to get most people to the point where they start to become dangerous! The beginner section is about a 1/3 of what I see the final product to be, the rough outline being:
Beginner
The Basics
Fields
Methods
Literals
Lists and Maps
Intermediate
functions
const classes
mixins
Errs
enums
Advanced
reflection
annotations
it blocks
operators
I don't really have the time to further more so it'd be great if others could fork, review, and add to it. Once it nears completion we can send a pull request to Learn in Sixty Mins.
My vision is for it to stay concise with just enough helpful examples to make it useful. Taking Learn C# in 60 Mins as a bad example, they've created a complete reference guide; which at nearly 1500 lines I find unusable. Learn in 60 minutes!? I'd be lucky to read the C# example in 60 days!

I've stuck what I have up on GibHut as a Gist - see Fantom Syntax Cheat Sheet.

Note for reference, there is also this Fantom Cheat Sheet by Tcolar.
Yes Andy, that's the easy bit! :)
