Raven is to Roc as JSON is to JavaScript. It's a serialization format stealing Roc's syntax for primitives, records, lists, tuples, and tags.

I just finished porting the code to the new compiler, and made a first release candidate for v1.0.0. And thanks to all the amazing compiler work, contrary to the version of Raven in the old compiler, this version can parse tags! :tada:

I need to fix that :sweat_smile:. I've put my roc projects in a mono-repo, but that means the README.md files of the individual projects are inside the protected source tree section.

In the meanwhile, here's a link to the docs:
https://cdn.jasperwoudenberg.com/roc-rvn-v1.0.0-rc.1/docs/index.html

:thinking: maybe I can use the generated docs as a landing page for the package.
