I finally read the details on roc lang and it sounds close to my ideal. I would like to keep watching the progress on libraries and possibly try the lang out occasionally in gitpod. Is there a checklist somewhere keeping track of what libraries are in progess and which ones haven't been started yet? (Gleam has a GitHub issue with a checklist)

I've been trying to keep a list of interesting links in this repo which might help you. I have a couple of new links from this past fortnight to add. :grinning:

It would be cool to have a list of libraries ideas or ones that should be made. How would/could we generate that?

Luke's repo seems like a good place for that, perhaps we should make a second .md file for library ideas. We could ask GPT4 for inspiration, have it list essential libraries for a general purpose language.

Something like gitpod seems very valuable for new contributors and people who want to try out roc. @kanishka what do you think about gihub codespaces?

Whatever is simple to get going. Simple, non interactive tutorials like present are fine also
