Development of the specification

The specification is written using spec-md, a Markdown variant optimized for writing specifications. The source is located under the spec/-directory which is then converted into HTML and presented at https://spec.groq.dev.

The specification follows the versioning scheme of GROQ-X.revisionY where X (major) and Y (revision) are numbers:
