> # Add Language Codes For Roc Programming Language
>
> ## Background
>
> Roc (https://www.roc-lang.org/) is a "fast, friendly, functional
> [programming] language" quickly advancing toward its first numbered
> release. The Roc compiler currently generates DWARF info in its
> compiled binaries to aid debugging and the community would appreciate
> recognition in the DWARF standard.[^thank]
>
> ## Overview
>
> The Roc community politely requests
>
> 1. the assignment of a Language and Version Code for the Roc
> programming language for DWARF Version 6; and
> 2. the assignment of a Language Code for the Roc programming language
> for DWARF Version 5.
>
> ## Proposed Changes
>
> For DWARF Version 6, we propose the following addition:
>
> | Language | Language Code (`DW_AT_language_name`)| Value | Default
> Lower Bound |Version Scheme |
> | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- |
> | Roc | `DW_LNAME_Roc` | _TBD_ | `0` | VVMMPP |
>
> For DWARF Version 5 (["[b]etween revisions of the Standard,
> ..."](https://dwarfstd.org/languages.html)), we propose the following
> addition:
>
> | Language Name | Value | Default Lower Bound |
> | -- | -- | -- |
> | `DW_LANG_Roc` | _TBD_ | `0` |
>
> > Note: We have intentionally omitted specifying any values in our
> request, following the pattern of the IETF (where assigned numbers are left
> as _TBD_ in drafts and later allocated during publication). However, we
> would be more than happy to resubmit with the values specified, if that is
> what this standards body prefers.
