OH! Ok that makes more sense. `:` from the tutorial is `-` or `~`, because it's the first char after the pipe.

I do lose track after that though, in my brain, It looks like the entire second part after the second pipe character should be just one long fact assigned to the stack between tildes, but I think it's adding each one of the bullet-prefixed lines to it.

That is one of a couple syntactical shorthands, explained a small bit here: https://nova-lang.net/introduction-to-nova/sight/#sometime-y...

yeah, the "." is a syntax for putting multiple things on the same stack
