Yes, I am aware - it is an interesting project. However, it's a couple of steps farther away from JavaScript than I would want to work with.

- pufuwozu 14y agoAuthor of Roy here. Would love to hear more about how/where you think it's too far away from JavaScript. I'm trying to avoid that feeling :) brian@brianmckenna.org (also, I'm writing an untyped typeclassopedia for use in my compiler - I'll be releasing it soon - definitely feel that'd be a complement to prelude.ls)
- pdelgallego 14y agoHi Brian, I was looking forward to see your presentation in SpainJS next month, but I might not be able to make it. Is there any of your roy talks online or any gentle introduction to roy besides roy.brianmckenna.org?
- pufuwozu 14y agoYou can checkout my JSConf talk at: http://brianmckenna.org/files/presentations/jsconf-roy/ http://brianmckenna.org/files/presentations/jsconf-roy/ - hopefully the video will be posted soon I wrote an article about it for IEEE's Internet Computing magazine: http://brianmckenna.org/blog/roy_ieee http://brianmckenna.org/blog/roy_ieee I've also started writing an introduction but it has been shelved while I work on making the typesystem sound. Hopefully I'll see you at SpainJS if you make it :)
- GeZe 14y agoHi Brian, thanks for creating Roy, it's very cool! I've underlined LiveScript functional features in this blog post, but like JavaScript, LiveScript also supports imperative and object-oriented programming. One could port a JavaScript program to LiveScript with relative ease, as it's just syntax changes (with features added on top). I do not think that would be possible in Roy. For some people that's fine, but for my own projects I would prefer using something that maps more closely to JavaScript.
