    > Enthusiasts had to create an interpreter for it (https://github.com/sjbarag/brs) to speed up development time.

    Author of that interpreter here - didn't expect to wake up to that repo appearing in a top HN comment! That started as a side project and was maintained during spare work hours (thanks, Hulu!) for the past 3 years, along with a unit testing framework that runs in it (https://github.com/hulu/roca).

    I'm happy to answer any "developing for Roku" questions that come up :)
