Why would I use this over coffeescript, that I'm already used to?

- tkahn6 15y agoSome programmers value type safety. That is the niche that Roy fills I believe. I'm certainly excited about it. CoffeeScript is certainly a pleasure to work with but it lacks a type system and static type checking.
- tomp 15y agoAlso, Roy supports Algebraic DataTypes (ADTs) - i.e. pattern matching. Though I think it takes quite some experience programming in Ocaml/ML/Haskell to fully appreciate its power.
