Topic: ROC Faq / Docker image


view this post on Zulip Gottfried Zojer (Jul 10 2025 at 23:08):

Hello to every one,

Hope someone can advise how ROC Faq was created as I want to translate it into German ( but kind off tour.gleam.run style )
Same goes for docker image
Just playing around with OneApi from Intel and wonder if it can merge somehow

faq is this markdown doc: https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/blob/main/www/content/faq.md

There are plans to revisit the documentation, specifically the tutorial at some point to update with the new 0.1 language design. Most of the ideas/content will be very similar, as it's mostly minor syntax changes (if you could call WSS to PNC minor :sweat_smile: ).

I'm keen to build an online playground for the purpose of code snippets like this. As soon as we have the parts available I'm planning on hacking something together.

@Brendan Hansknecht @Luke BoswellBrendan,
Luke,

Thanks to both of you even if I was misunderstood a bit
I m well aware of FAQ as I read it multiple times and also not really looking for snippets
Just here on this forum because I m interested on language but in its broadest sense
Language from computational design point of view but also linguistics and neuro/brain science pov
https://www.manning.com/books/the-programmers-brain
So was wondering more how the FAQ came about incluse the docker image
Can guess about docker as it was probably psychology as people (including developers) like containerization

Best regards

Gottfried

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the question.

@Brendan HansknechtBrendan,

Thanks again but my question was simple "how the FAQ came about"
Did print it out myself sometime back and it was messy
But when you read it a couple of times it makes sense and I just wondered if it was created after
a online session or rather in a incremental way

I think @Richard Feldman wrote it. I'm guessing it evolved over time with questions he was getting from people about Roc.

incremental

definitely not in a single session :sweat_smile:

definitely could use some revision haha

@Richard Feldman @Luke Boswell Thank you to both of you for this clarification
