Lukas Hermann (Dec 10 2025 at 17:29): Lukas Hermann (Dec 10 2025 at 17:29):Hi! I was hoping to understand more about what the roc standard library looks like in no allocation environments. If there’s any tips it would be welcome :)
Richard Feldman (Dec 10 2025 at 17:54):if "no allocation" means "no heap allocations" that's very easy - Roc isn't going to work at all in those environments :smile:
Richard Feldman (Dec 10 2025 at 17:54):the whole language is designed around the assumption that heap allocations are always acceptable
Lukas Hermann (Dec 10 2025 at 18:25):Thank you for clarifying! I was partially curious since I was imagining what it would look like for roc to take advantage of LLVMs SPIRV backend to generate kernels
Richard Feldman (Dec 10 2025 at 19:04):oh yeah I don't think Roc would be a reasonable language to use for writing kernels :smile:
