See https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/issues/9596
It's come up a few times, so I thought I'd ask our LLM friends to sift through all the details I could find and put together a consolidated list of missing builtins for us to coordinate around.
I've locked and pinned the issue so we can limit discussion to Zulip ideas threads or more specific GH Issues.
It would be helpful if you see anything that doesn't look right to let me know... I've tried to compile a lot of detail and almost certainly missed some things
I've made a start on two of these
(1) https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/pull/9599 -- implement Dict with an insertion-ordered hash map
(2) https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/pull/9600 -- all of the remaining Numeric builtins
Shouldn't all the builtins that were suffixed with _checked in the old compiler use _try instead, to be consistent with the change in naming of the to_ conversion functions?
that makes sense to me
