Luke Boswell (Nov 28 2022 at 00:27):roc edit but its very early WIP, so not much to look at right now.
Daniele Parisi (Jul 16 2024 at 08:33):Has it already been said that seeing this without even a mentioning it at the beginning of the tutorial is frightening?
app [main] { pf: platform "https://github.com/roc-lang/basic-cli/releases/download/0.12.0/Lb8EgiejTUzbggO2HVVuPJFkwvvsfW6LojkLR20kTVE.tar.br" }
Kiryl Dziamura (Jul 16 2024 at 09:21):It's a valid concern! I think we should mention that it's just a dependency that allows you to run your app in terminal and you'll learn more about platforms soon. Or should we give an overview in the beginning? :thinking:
Anton (Jul 16 2024 at 09:34):Hi @Daniele Parisi,
Thanks for the feedback, am I correct in assuming the length of the line and the "random" alphanumeric characters are what make it frightening?
Daniele Parisi (Jul 16 2024 at 09:57):yes, that combined with it being a URL.
Anton (Jul 16 2024 at 10:01):Does the URL make you concerned about safety, e.g. downloading and executing malicious code?
Daniele Parisi (Jul 16 2024 at 10:07):I'm not necessarily concerned, it's a first impressions issue: You read the Hello World of a new programming language and you find that strange and long URL in the code, without it being mentioned anywhere. It has fishy vibes.
It's something surprising that I think should be addressed there, not sure how much, but at least in passing.
Henrik Larsson (Jul 16 2024 at 20:02):What is the Roc editor and where can I read abot it? I see there is an editor label in github issues and I have seen other mentions abot a Roc editor.
Brendan Hansknecht (Jul 16 2024 at 20:08):https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/tree/main/design/editor
Brendan Hansknecht (Jul 16 2024 at 20:09):And #editor
Brendan Hansknecht (Jul 16 2024 at 20:09):Though it really is a fully paused project currently.
