Since the Roc repo is now public and people are unclear why they should care I thought it might be worth posting this again even though it's been less than a year. Hope that's okay with everyone.
I've decided enough is enough and I want to write my own compiler (seems I caught a bug and lobste.rs is definitely not discouraging it). The language I have in mind is a basic (lazy?) statically-typed pure functional programming language with do notation and records (i.e. mostly Haskell-lite).
I...
I wrote this over the past two years to explore how pure, lazy, functional languages like Haskell and Miranda are implemented and efficiently compiled. It has evolved into a fairly small (~7kloc) compiler written in itself, along with a library of pure, functional data structures. Even though the ...
Configuration management is the foundation that makes modern infrastructure possible. Tools that enable configuration management are required in the toolbox of any operations team, and many development teams as well. Although all the tools aim to solve the same basic set of problems, they adhere to...

We're currently using Play Json and finding it quite flexible and enjoyable. I'm interested in seeing how argonaut develops. It looks promising.
