I wrote a script to migrate videos from one system to another which involved downloading a video, calling ffmpeg to transcode it, scp:ing it off to a streaming server, running some postgres queries to publish the video, and SHA-BLAM: migrated!
Writing this in Roc instead of bash was faster, easier, and my trust in its correctness saved me a ton of time testing before doing the actual production run.
I am doing top-tier multi-threading (running four instances of the script, heh :peace_sign:) and it's been running smoothly for 30+ hours now, and has processed 1000+ videos so far.
Roc is awesome!
