This time I was focused on implementing something, so I neglected all what was not vital to the task at hand. What I like A LOT is capability to accomplish my goals using very few syntax constructs. I could compare this only with my previous experience with lua when I could do quite decent range of task with almost no knowledge about the language. Roc has the same specifics and that is very very good news for me (if I have experienced couple of headaches I would definitely drop forever, and I experienced those only 1-2 times which is very few compared to clojure haskell and many other languages I tried and dropped ). I like haw state is handled, how errors are embedded in language . I crunched quite a bit of numbers and execution time was decent a promised. Syntax is weird but as I said I only picked few constructs and stick to them entire time , so I had chances to get used to them. I like how ease it is to add new modules and how easy it is to create application. I don't even know how main or task works but still I could use them and accomplish the goal
