You can now directly sponsor Roc's development! 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! โค๏ธ

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!

@ultrox @phillyete No estimates yet, other than "not soon" - there's a lot to do to make it production-ready! Someone could certainly make a platform for building native-like phone apps, absolutely. ๐Ÿ’ฏ
