Elm [1] is also worth looking into. I've been using it of late and having fun with it, despite some quirks. It's quite performant in practice too. Though I haven't done comparisons myself, Elm benchmarks claim it to be the fastest only next to Mercury [2].

- k__ 11y agoCan it be used for big web-apps?
- proyb2 11y agoDepending, JSBlock is another one.
- sriku 11y agoNot sure yet. I'm exploring. It is a compile-to-js language and not just a framework though. So far, the static typing has been addictive. The time travel debugger is also intriguing. So far, I don't see any particular reason to not use it for big apps ... except maybe the compiled size, which you can expect to be minimum 100k compressed as a thumb rule.
- k__ 11y agoYes, from looking into it, it seems to be a very good language. But last time I tried to get into it, the tutorials were all outdated and even the simple hello world didn't work without extensive searching. Also there doesn't seem to be any examples of how to structure a big app.
