I wrote an interpreter for a small stack based programming language using Roc. It's been a blast!

I already shared this in the meetup yesterday, but since then I have added a readme and improved the CLI so it will be a much nicer experience if anyone wants to try it out now. https://github.com/isaacvando/gob

@Isaac Van Doren want to make a PR to https://github.com/roc-lang/examples to add it?

My preference would be not to have the source code in two places because I will likely keep updating it and I would prefer not to have to repeatedly copy those updates to the examples repo. I would be happy to open a PR to link to it though. What do you think?
