Roc Language - a new purely functional programming language built for speed and ergonomics

Hi folks,

I don’t know if I saw this here but, here’s a new programming language, called Roc
Reminds me a bit of Elm and thus Haskell. I’m not so surprised as it’s a talk made by Richard Feldman.
I really like this guy’s talks, especially ones about why FP is not the norm and from RoR to Haskell.

A little tour of the language here:

Sorry, I couldn’t help it … I’m sure Roc is a Roc’in’ new language :smiley:

Looks interesting Maartz - thanks for posting :023:

I only watched the first few minutes, do you know who created it and what it’s intended purpose is?

Personally I am not a fan of whitespace dependent syntax as I think my brain just isn’t wired for it :lol:

I’m with you on this one. Way too easy to screw up your real intent and it is not always easy to spot the problem. Python anyone?

Same thing holds true for “config”-like files in my mind too. YAML? :face_vomiting::joy:
