Installed pixie today (20160113). Version is 1.0. Got the following error. Running an x64 system with ~ 4 GB RAM on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS.

The script should probably fail with a useful error when no arguments are passed. I believe this is the cause of the above error.

The usage is: pixie-vm generate-docs.pxi some.namespace

And an example:

$ pixie-vm generate-docs.pxi pixie.stdlib

Thanks so much. Pixie looks like a great language.

What are the plans for Pixie? Will development continue in the future?
