Hi, I just picked up the language today, I'm returning from a year long sabbatical from programming (and computers in general) and came across roc
, I like that the syntax is lean from what I can tell and I'm considering taking a stab at this year's AoC with it. Is the current tutorial enough for me to hit the ground running, or is there any additional recommended reading? Thanks!
I think tutorial is a great place to start :smiley:
You might want to checkout the examples too https://www.roc-lang.org/examples
I wouldn't say these are the best or most idiomatic roc, I haven't re-written the implementation from when I started learning roc, but I try to keep my AoC solutions up to date (compiling and passing at least).

Looks great, thanks!
I personally really like doing some exercism exercises when learning a new language
Oh yeah, those are great too. :sunglasses:
Maybe on the website just after Tutorial on the Install page, and also at the end of the tutorial we could include some links to additional resources like the examples and exercism.
dot has marked this topic as resolved.
