  • advent-of-code-2021

    This year, I chose Roc. It’s a strictly typed functional language. As someone who loves Elm, a strictly typed functional language for front-end web development, I was lacking a language for everything else (server, cli, etc). ReScript has been my stand in for various reasons. I was excited to try Roc lang for last year’s Advent of Code, but my youngest daughter convinced me to use Lua for Roblox. I figured after a whole year, things would be much more stable now.

  • rescript-compiler

    The compiler for ReScript.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • mocha

    ☕️ simple, flexible, fun javascript test framework for node.js & the browser

    I like roc test, but I don’t like how it’s like “yo, your test failed!” Coming from Mocha in JavaScript and PyTest in Python, they’re pretty verbose in telling you why it failed, specifically what your expectation was expecting vs. what it got. I know it’s early days, but dbg (Roc’s console.log) wasn’t working for me in roc test, so I was blind.

  • Elm

    Compiler for Elm, a functional language for reliable webapps.

    This year I choose to do Advent of Code using Roc Lang. I wanted to talk about my experiences as it was pretty fun and I learned a lot.
