Reason is a lovely, OCaml-esque language in the same functional vein, but I would say Gren feels like a great spiritual successor to Elm. https://gren-lang.org

- josephcsible 3y agoGren is a fork, not a spiritual successor. And not only did it not fix that problem, it made it worse: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36275171 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36275171
- matsemann 3y agoPerhaps because it's not the big problem a few people make it out to be..
- ordinaryradical 3y agoYeah, I just read this further down in this topic. Really bummed about it, Elm always seemed so promising, and I thought a healthy fork was what was needed. I just don’t understand the reasoning for this choice.
- terminatornet 3y agoalong those lines, Zokka is a fork of elm that appears to be mostly dedicated towards bug fixes that Evan (the creator of elm) refuses to acknowledge or merge. https://github.com/Zokka-Dev/zokka-compiler https://github.com/Zokka-Dev/zokka-compiler edit: there's also Roc, https://www.roc-lang.org/ https://www.roc-lang.org/, a language started by Richard Feldman who I believe was a former elm core team member. I think Roc aims to accomplish different things than elm, but definitely feels like a spiritual successor
- josephcsible 3y agoThe commitment to bidirectional compatibility means that Zokka can't fix the problem that GGP was talking about.
