Been waiting for Roc for a few years and this is awesome to see!! Great humans working on great things. I hope they learn from all the great tools that don't see any usage because of poor developer tooling. Syntax highlighting, editor support, REPL, .... should be prioritized. This is awesome work!
Roc is such a promising language. The error messages are incredibly good. Feldman and his team has done an amazing job. Having the language not curried is also a good idea.
I'm only getting into Roc and the one thing I'm missing so far is the currying (that I found so enjoyable in Haskell), but I am curious why you think it's a good idea
@@LTGSStrophox having played a bit with F# (think ML for dotnet), currying seems like a fun thing, but the amount of errors it leads to is staggering. Sometimes you add a parameter to a function somewhere deep in your codebase, and rerun the program and.... nothing happens. Because the new parameter bubbled up all the way to the main, and basically you main just defines a function that still needs one parameter. All types are fine (F# has proper static types), it's just the logic got broken, by accident. The amount of code that you save is minimal in comparison to problems like this.
Very cool to see this! I asked for exactly this a couple of months ago and it's cool to see how much roc has evolved since. I'm exited by all the new programming languages that have very cool and novel features (i am currently the most exited for roc, odin and unison). Thank you for the video!

@@LTGSStrophox currying is better with garbage collection
would like to see some performance comparison between haskell and roc
