Topic: What platforms have been implemented?

Evan Lauer (Mar 19 2024 at 18:35):

Is there a repo somewhere or maybe a list containing most of the platforms that have been implemented? Also, if I wanted to implement a custom platform for something, is it worth doing it now or should I wait until the ecosystem has matured? Essentially, is it likely that I would have to rewrite a platform because something in the Roc language changed?

Please, refer to the following resources to get you started:

• https://www.roc-lang.org/platforms
• https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/tree/main/examples
• https://github.com/roc-lang/examples/tree/main/examples

I'll let the more experienced members answer your other questions :pray:

Hi @Evan Lauer,
Here are some more platforms. Note that if you plan to write more than a small demo platform, currently it is only convenient to do so in Rust. We still have several breaking changes planned for platforms but most changes will happen to the auto-generated glue code that connect e.g Rust and Roc. I expect that you won't have to do any major rewriting beyond that.
