Great analogy. Poetical. Actually your first version (before editing) was more poetical but I understand that many of us may be too biased to find it funny: "king-funded javascript charlatans attempting to transmute lead into gold."
- Buttons840 4y agoI appreciate a good JavaScript dig every time. But in fairness, when I was trying to learn FRP (functional reactive programming, different from React), JavaScript was the only other language where I could find some interesting FRP libraries. There's definitely a lot of exciting JavaScript libraries (and more likely to have documentation than Haskell) you just won't find them used in big corporations.
- b0afc375b5 4y agoI'm interested to know what JavaScript libraries you looked at, and maybe some recommendations.

See also: https://github.com/stoeffel/awesome-frp-js https://github.com/stoeffel/awesome-frp-js What was most helpful was the tutorials and explanations these projects had. Haskell projects, if they have documentation at all, are often written for other Haskell users, and so hard for me to understand as a novice. These JavaScript projects had a unique perspective and a unique way of explaining FRP concepts I found helpful.
