All of the empty brackets to describe the virtual DOM looks bad to me. I'm curious if this is regarded as a language smell.

- wetmore 12y agoIt's easy to use partial application to get rid of that problem: the type of the function node is: node : String -> [Attribute] -> [CssProperty] -> [Html] -> Html We could define a convenient function div, for example, with div : [Attribute] - > [CssProperty] -> [Html] -> Html div = node "div" that would let us say "div [] [] [text "Hello world"]" instead of "node "div" [] [] [text "Hello world"]". Of course, this doesn't fix your problem with the empty brackets. This can be fixed with something like: bareDiv : [Html] -> Html bareDiv = div [] [] letting us do "bareDiv [text "Hello world"]"
