Enjoying this so far! One initial comment is that I'm not sure the JS examples should all be embedded in an HTML page; why not code them to be run in node which means you can scrap…

Reason is still an alternative syntax to OCaml for native development, although I have no idea how many people actually use it for that.

Basically Bucklescript have forked their own (very similar) syntax from ReasonML and branded the whole syntax + Bucklescript + compiler package as ReScript. I suppose the goal is t…

ReScript is specifically ReasonML with Bucklescript, which is for transpiling down to Javascript. They also made a few minor syntax changes that make it look a bit more like Typesc…

I used ReasonML and Bucklescript for a self-contained part of a massive Typescript project to try it out and it was a joy . Here's hoping more people find out about it and it gets …

Other people's comments explain the details well, but I wanted to say that I have a large (real-world) project where the bulk of the app and all the business logic is in Elm, and a…

I disagree - I think that firstly Evan wants to implement the right abstraction (which he doesn't think is traditional Haskell type classes), and secondly its simply not a priority…

Despite the abrasive tone of this article, it is true that Elm misses a convenient level of abstraction (whether that be type classes, module functors or whatever). I spent the fir…

If you don't mind using remote developers, then your location doesn't have to matter. It's true that it might be a bit harder to find a developer (although Elm is getting more popu…

Its true that you can't currently write a service worker in Elm. However, in practice for any decent size app you are going to end up with a mix of Elm and Javascript with communic…

You take that back! I've been using it professionally for about 6 months.

This is certainly annoying at the moment (although there are workable hacky solutions). However it's a well known issue and there is movement at https://github.com/elm-lang/html/is…

I suppose if anything it is the customer subscribes. But actually, in practice, it doesn't really feel quite like this because in FP you just have a bunch of functions and there is…

It took me about a day and half to upgrade a good sized project, and most of that time was spent sorting out native code. If you don't use native code and are using StartApp then i…

Another approach is to use extensible records, which give you structural typing similarly to Typescript. This means that you can pass the exact same state record/object around to d…

I've never used ClojureScript so I can't speak for that, but the ports are now a lot easier in 0.17 as an outgoing port is simply a function that you can call, instead of messing a…

Its a little wordy, but now that I'm used to it, it takes no time to write decoders/encoders. There is also a tool to automatically generate them from JSON input at http://noredink…

I moved from React/Redux/Typescript to Elm a few months ago, and I'm now on my second serious project with it, making mobile application with Cordova. I've found it an absolute ple…

SEEKING FREELANCER(s) - remote only Davex Global is looking to expand its roster of remote freelancers. Right now we are looking for super-duper HTML/jQuery/CSS/Bootstrap frontend …

bpm ( http://www.getbpm.org/ ) works with Amber and compiles multiple Javascript, SCSS and Coffeescript into a single JS and CSS file. It also has a mode where it does it in realti…
