It's a functional programming language, which is statically typed, and compiled to a standalone executable. I first heard about it after listening to an interview with it's author on the [Legacy Code Rocks](https://legacycode.rocks/) podcast, and later thought about it again after seeing a comment about it on [hacker news](https://news.ycombinator.com/). + +I found it pretty easy to use. I've previously had a go at Haskell and Clojure, so I'm familiar with functional programming, but I've never been entirely comfortable with it. Roc is fairly new, and definitely rough around the edges. I had to compile it from source as there was no binary for linux-aarch64. I ran into a [couple](https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/issues/6085) of [issues](https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/issues/6084) as well while I was coding. + +Nothing else to report yet, I definitely need some more time with it before I can say anything more interesting!
