Given I rarely peak in here, take a glimpse at the editor channel, am sad that there's no posts in there and leave again - is there any recommended way to get up to date with the recent changes / developments?

Hi @Tobias Steckenborn,
We have www.roc-lang.org/plans but there is currently no planned work for the editor. We unfortunately have our hands full working on the language itself. @Eli Dowling has been making nice progress with the language server though github.com/roc-lang/roc/tree/main/crates/lang_srv . We also have a VScode plugin that uses it.

And we have neovim, helix and Emacs configs kicking around, if you use one of those I can dig you up the config :)

Quick question: Do you happen to know if there should be something like autocomplete with the vscode extension? Or is that a TBD?

There should be. It should be using roc_language_server.

Okay then something on my setup is off. Thanks for the very quick reponse

See if you can run "roc_language_server" outside of vscode. It should be installed when you install roc

Ah I think I see the issue. It's still referencing the old Rocs version folder.

Yeah, resolved... my bad
