Hello, I'm commenting on an unrelated thread but would you still go by your statement here- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15113715 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15113715 and claim that Bucklesript is better than Scala.js? How much scala.js have you written?
- yawaramin 8y agoI wrote a fairly large Scala.js app around the 2016–2017 time frame. I used David Barri's scalajs-react and the Scala.js Material UI bindings. Keeping in mind that compile times and optimizations may have improved since then–even so I would say BuckleScript's combination of language power, compile speed, size and quality of output JS, and JavaScript interop are quite simply the best in the business. In my mind there is simply no comparison. There is a quite well-paved path for writing React apps in BuckleScript/Reason by now, and even back in late 2016 I played around with the quite young BuckleScript project and immediately saw how much simpler it would have made things. If I ever have that kind of power, I would certainly push for it :-)
