you can go to the samples... but you will quickly notice a lot of the samples are canvas orineted things, because Fable gets to be in control to do things F# like. There's a vue and react example, but the code doesn't show any real advantage. Very little examples of typical web pages.... just a link to fable-elmish..... so... you may as well use elm. This is a common problem for F# in general, it hasn't really carved a slice of a world where it dominates. It's a nice language, but hard to make it a first choice. Though one area I think it's quite nice is parsing, I like FParsec

Hi, fable-elmish author here. Elm is great if you don't care about investing into two ecosystems or don't have a backend, or don't have a Native client in addition to Web, or don't care about what JS ecosystem has to offer. Fable lets one use F# for both frontend and backend, and being able to share the code (models in particular, but really anything) while maintaining clear separation of tiers reduces your code base and dramatically improves quality w/o the need for elaborate tests. Fable-elmish lets one use the same frontend code and architecture to write Native and Web apps. Again, YMMV, but at our company being able to transition an entire team between completely different types of projects avoids expertise silos and makes truly cross-functional teams possible. We have OSSed a lot of our backend tech that helps building event-driven system in F# as well, in case anyone's interested: https://prolucid.github.io https://prolucid.github.io. As Tomas said, just like Lisp in Paul Graham's "Beating the Averages" has been his secret weapon, F# is ours.

This is true we still need to work on promoting our documentation and samples. We are a small team working on it, and we try to constantly improve it. I will provide you some links here if you can find them useful: - File explorer using electron: https://github.com/fable-compiler/samples-electron#samples https://github.com/fable-compiler/samples-electron#samples - Pixi.js samples (quite new we are working on them): https://github.com/fable-compiler/samples-pixi/ https://github.com/fable-compiler/samples-pixi/ - Elmish central website: https://fable-elmish.github.io/ https://fable-elmish.github.io/ - Bulma wrapper for Elmish: https://mangelmaxime.github.io/Fulma/ https://mangelmaxime.github.io/Fulma/ - A demo of Fulma + Elmish - Live demo: https://mangelmaxime.github.io/fulma-demo/ - Source code: https://github.com/MangelMaxime/fulma-demo And also, a really cool place is Fable awesome: https://github.com/kunjee17/awesome-fable https://github.com/kunjee17/awesome-fable
