    Video of the completed Roc Clock ("Roc Cloc" perhaps? 🤔) by @Billzabob_ - the logic making this happen is written in @roc_lang! 😍 The full code is in this thread: roc.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream…

    Very exciting to see someone new to Roc getting results like these! 🚀
    Plotting Fractals: Bryce Miller created a repo and added a couple additional implementations in Rust and JS. https://github.com/sandprickle/fROCtals

Set up all three implementations to create identical plots, with max iterations set to 1 million.
On M1 Macbook Air, got the following results:

JS (Node v16): ~10.3 s
Roc: ~ 4.62 s
Rust: ~ 4.57 s
    Bryce Miller: I also have some results from my desktop which shows a larger difference between Roc and Rust.

Ryzen 3800X results (Fedora)
JS: ~ 9 s (not super consistent)
Roc: ~ 3.16 s
Rust: ~ 2.86 s

Bryce Miller: Odd that JS didn't get much faster 🤔

    You can now directly sponsor Roc's development! github.com/sponsors/roc-l… The plan for now is to use donations exclusively to pay contributors, although someday we may use funds for other things too (e.g. server costs, which we don't yet have any). Any donations appreciated! ❤️

    Thanks to Alf Richter for creating a Roc extension for @zeddotdev - it has both a language server integration and tree-sitter grammar for syntax highlighting! github.com/h2000/zed-roc
