Luke Boswell (Jun 20 2024 at 08:26): Luke Boswell (Jun 20 2024 at 08:26):Just wondering what the best places to find information on how the roc types are implemented.
We don't have a spec or anything right? That would be something for much later I assume.
The zig builtins would be probably the easiest, followed by the roc_std implementation right?
Would the ultimate base truth be emitting llvm-ir?
Basically, if I am working on implementing the std lib or glue, where should I go for the source?
Folkert de Vries (Jun 20 2024 at 08:31):for stdlib either zig or rust, depending on what is most familiar
Folkert de Vries (Jun 20 2024 at 08:32):zig is more code because it implements the builtins, that's good (examples!) and bad (more code to read)
Folkert de Vries (Jun 20 2024 at 08:33):for tag unions I think reading the source is the only way to be really sure, though the names make sense once you know them
