If you're interested in Gren, you might also like Roc — roc-lang.org. It's a definite descendent of Elm too, although not a fork: the compiler is written in Rust, the platforms (a fascinating and powerful concept) in Rust and Zig.
- tasuki 2y agoWhat are the differences and similarities between Gren and Roc?
- boxed 2y agoI don't see how to make Single Page Apps, or really anything client side in Roc. I'm quite frustrated by https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/blob/main/roc-for-elm-programmers.md https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/blob/main/roc-for-elm-progra... which doesn't answer this which is the first question imo.
- zellyn 2y agoRoc is built by folks who love Elm. They have no desire to replace Elm for web frontend. IIUC, Roc is what you get if you stir together: - I like Elm, and wish I could use it in other domains - I have a bunch of ideas for where Elm could go, but I don't want to mess with Elm - A really smart, incredibly thoughtful BDFN (benevolent dictator for now)
- boxed 2y agoOk sure. But as someone coming from Elm the first question when looking at Roc will be "how does it work for web frontend?" If the answer is "use Elm", then I guess that's fine, but that answer needs to be in the FAQ. I also find it a weird answer honestly. Having two such similar languages for frontend and backend, but without being able to share code seems weird.
