What is the preferred OS for working with ROC? I'm currently on Windows but am debating moving to another OS.

linux has the best support

mac is not far behind but linking is slower there (at the moment)

Ubuntu 22.04 is the safe, well documented, nice learning curve choice :)

Thanks! The Roc Lang website made it sound like Mac OS was the best supported, so this is good info. Thanks!

in terms of compiling code all three OS'es are similar in support, but in terms of development linux has best support

Is there a doc with the basic syntax of Roc? I'm searching for a cheat sheet of some sort for the syntax instead of scrubbing through videos by Richard. I didn't see one at the Roc Lang website: https://www.roc-lang.org/
