What are your thoughts on the direct descendant, Roc? [0] I know it's pre v0.1 so maybe you don't have any, but as a fellow Elm lover it seems pretty compelling

What are your thoughts on the direct descendant, Roc? [0] I know it's pre v0.1 so maybe you don't have any, but as a fellow Elm lover it seems pretty compelling on the surface albeit less directly frontend-dev focused. [0] https://github.com/roc-lang/roc https://github.com/roc-lang/roc

That's the language's claim, but it really feels weird to call oneself a direct descendent when the original language creator has not left the boat.

  It's just what a fork is, no?

    afaik, it's not a fork of Elm, they started from a clean slate.

      Right I see. At any rate, C has hundreds of languages as its direct descendants, it's a common term used for programming languages.

  why? my parents are alive and I'm still their direct descendant (: it's just acknowledging the language's roots.
