Just logged this Issue #4609 might be a good candidate for a first issue?

Logged another for Opaque Types #4634.

I'm keen to add this kind of content, and expand it further with guides etc. Though, I think it probably makes sense to leave this for now, until we have a more scalable way of doing content for the tutorial. I think @Georges Boris mentioned that we should have a better system soon.

The tutorial currently says that roc-lang.org is about the old compiler, which is probably confusing for newcomers. A number of other things are outdated.

I just submitted PR #11385 to update it. The PR doesn't try to expand the tutorial, just to ensure what is says is correct.

Can anyone please review it?

Note: please check the paragraph about constant folding. I tried to test everything, and I found that only top-level constants are folded (or at least I couldn't get any dbg statements to be printed for non-top-level constants).

In addition I think this example, https://www.roc-lang.org/examples/AllSyntax/README, might be a good candidate for https://learnxinyminutes.com/
