Programming professionally with WebSharper has been the best web development experience I ever had. Several years later I ended up doing some web development with Angular and it was a horrific experience. The one thing I'm most certain of is that popularity in software development doesn't correlate with merit. This is unfortunate because approaches that are superior are generally overlooked in favor of gimped alterna…

Is Microsoft not a big name"?

If you're speaking to Angular... is MS using this for internal applications, or public facing sites? I know they're heavy in the development, but what MS uses internally, and what Consulting arms use isn't always the same.

Personally, couldn't hate Angular more, I worked with it enough and unlikely to do so again.

There's a response to your question from one of the SAFE stack developers, but it is dead so only those with "show dead" on see it. I'm not sure if dead comments show up for people without "show dead" on if they follow a direct link to it, but if they do, here is a link [1]. I'm curious why it is dead. The account has only posted two comments, both technical comments on F# threads, and both are dead. It has no submis…

If you see a [dead] comment that shouldn't be dead, please vouch for it instead of posting offtopically about its deadness. Usually that will just fix the problem. That's why we implemented vouching!

In this case I did vouch for it, and it didn't bring it back.

Ah, I missed that because it looks like you clicked 'unvouch' afterward.

I'm curious if you have played with "Safe Stack" yet and have thoughts on how it compares to WebSharper?

I haven't, I'm curious to know whether it has transparent, type-checked, client-server RPC calls like WebSharper? Hands down must-have from my perspective.

As for declarative UI development I had worked with Formlets -> Piglets -> UI.Next and felt they had nailed it at the end. I haven't worked with Elm, my hopes are high. The only other thing I know likely has a good model would be: https://github.com/calmm-js

Yes but Microsoft has always been pushing C# and for fear of alienating their C# consumerbase could never concede that F# was strictly superior.

Yeah, when I saw it had become visible I was curious if my vouch made a difference, and so un-vouched to see if it would disappear again. If it had, I would have re-vouched.

Yes, it does have type-checked, client-server RPC calls with Fable.Remoting:
