		eberfreitas on Aug 20, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Roc Lang – Elm but for everywhere [video] I don't think so (could be wrong), but it does perform optimistic mutation on your functional code. There is a talk somewhere where Richard "demos" this.

yeah that seems cool! I'm a little skeptical of pure functional programming with no escape hatch. I rarely need the escapes in Rust but when I do, I really do.

It isn't "no escape hatch". It is platform dependent escape hatches. A platform can give you full access to mutation and libffi if it wants.
