Richard Feldman, "Pushing Boundaries with Roc"
Channel: Houston FPUG
Date: 2022-09-20

Roc is a purely functional programming language. It’s currently in a pre-release stage of development, but it already has a lot of interesting characteristics. This talk walks through three code bases for the same application – one written in Roc, and the other two in popular imperative languages (one dynamically typed and one statically typed), and shows how Roc is pushing the boundaries of what’s been possible in traditional dynamically typed or statically typed languages.
