Native Desktop Apps in Roc

Roc is a bleeding-edge functional programming language built for user-friendliness and performance. Although the language is not ready for production use yet, it has some exciting proof-of-concept capabilities already, most recently including cross-platform native desktop applications. This talk demonstrates how to create native desktop applications in Roc, which compile to optimized binary executables that render straight to the graphics card; there’s no virtual machine, shrink-wrapped browser, or giant C/C++ framework under the hood here!
