For those out of the loop, Roc was spearheaded by Richard Feldman, who made major contributions to Elm.

Feldman is such a charming guy! I highly recommend checking out his podcast Software Unscripted and watching his many talks on YouTube.

The recent SU episode with Brian Carroll talking about WASM in Roc was a great listen.

Roc also has an active community on zulip, so consider stopping by :)

What happened to Elm by the way?

Elm is still delightful to use!

Evan also announced some stuff about Elm and Postgres at Strange Loop earlier this year, so I expect another wave of movement soon

The talk is at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ3w_jec1v8

I also recommend watching it, though the conclusion I came away with is that Evan is kind of in a "next steps" crisis.

if nothing else it popularised TEA ("the elm architecture"), which a lot of other frontend frameworks have picked up on.
