Does Roc have while loop? I wonder if I can read lines from Stdin until the line is empty without using recursion?
Somewhat related - is a stream API off the books? I'm not sure if this is something that can be implemented in user space (I guess it could be in a platform?), but I often find streaming a simple / friendly way of lazy reading. Eg Elixir's Stream builtin that can be created with an IO.Stream for reading line by line. I don't like to make random language suggestions but I was just curious!
Richard Feldman (Dec 09 2025 at 12:26):we don't have one yet but there's a general plan to have one!
Jonathan (Dec 09 2025 at 12:30):Ah cool! Thank you. In the meantime it's a good excuse for me to try the while loops :smile:
