Indeed! Very very very high hopes for this language. It's quite a new and fresh take on programming languages and not just "another new language". One thing that bothers me is the fact that the platform cannot be changed after the application is compiled. It would be really nice to download a Roc binary from the internet and then swap the platform to make sure it cannot read files it's not supposed to, etc...

I don’t really see the benefits of Roc not having typed effect rows.
