That said, it seems that #roclang is progressing nicely.

#Prediction: #RocLang will make purely functional programming languages mainstream and much more accessible.

Alright, I'm going to give #RocLang a try. Let's go through the tutorial first -> https://www.roc-lang.org/tutorial

Day4 of #AdventOfCode in #RocLang!

Like #Haskell and #ElmLang I find that it reads (and writes!) best when I think about the types first and then focus on short, targeted functions that do semantically meaningful transformations.

I liked how these parsing functions ended up in logical steps. Notice how in Roc you can accumulate the various error types that could happen.

Really enjoying #RocLang and I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it! #AdventOfCode

My thanks to the kind folks over at roc.zulipchat.com

Really excited to try #AdventOfCode in #RocLang!

Forgot hashtags... in case there are some folks in the fediverse who are into such things.?😀

I had fun implementing #adventofcode day 1 in #RocLang! I ran into some rough edges (which was totally expected) but had fun regardless.

It's nice to have figured out basic boilerplate for the upcoming days, though if past years were any guide, I think finding/building a little parser is going to come in handy sooner rather than later. It would have helped me avoid a crash statement today too.

@lindsaykwardell ah cool! I’ve been waiting for a bit more info about #RocLang, this sounds like a good way to stress test it haha!

Cross posting from Twitter, if you’re thinking of participating in #AdventOfCode then consider using #RocLang this year!

Am looking forward to #roclang ...finally a compiled purely functional language that can integrate with C easily.

Not sure how well #haskell can #ffi

Maybe I should try again learning Haskell for the sake...

Anyone here playing with #roc #roclang ? Is it usable yet?

#RocLang looks really cool

What if.. #Remix as a #RocLang platform API
