Enjoying this so far! One initial comment is that I'm not sure the JS examples should all be embedded in an HTML page; why not code them to be run in node which means you can scrap the `script` tags and use `console.log` which is shor

Reason is still an alternative syntax to OCaml for native development, although I have no idea how many people actually use it for that.

Basically Bucklescript have forked their own (very similar) syntax from ReasonML and branded the whole syntax + Bucklescript + compiler package as ReScript. I suppose the goal is to eliminate the confusion of having so many moving parts an

ReScript is specifically ReasonML with Bucklescript, which is for transpiling down to Javascript. They also made a few minor syntax changes that make it look a bit more like Typescript.

I used ReasonML and Bucklescript for a self-contained part of a massive Typescript project to try it out and it was a joy . Here's hoping more people find out about it and it gets some more widespread adoption.

Other people's comments explain the details well, but I wanted to say that I have a large (real-world) project where the bulk of the app and all the business logic is in Elm, and all the more fiddly UI bits are in Typescript. The two l

I disagree - I think that firstly Evan wants to implement the right abstraction (which he doesn't think is traditional Haskell type classes), and secondly its simply not a priority.

Despite the abrasive tone of this article, it is true that Elm misses a convenient level of abstraction (whether that be type classes, module functors or whatever). I spent the first few weeks of my first Elm project fighting against the la

If you don't mind using remote developers, then your location doesn't have to matter. It's true that it might be a bit harder to find a developer (although Elm is getting more popular day by day), but the other side of the co

Its true that you can't currently write a service worker in Elm. However, in practice for any decent size app you are going to end up with a mix of Elm and Javascript with communication happening through ports. Therefore you can writ

You take that back! I've been using it professionally for about 6 months.

This is certainly annoying at the moment (although there are workable hacky solutions). However it's a well known issue and there is movement at https://github.com/elm-lang/html/issues/19 so hopefully i

I suppose if anything it is the customer subscribes. But actually, in practice, it doesn't really feel quite like this because in FP you just have a bunch of functions and there isn't the concept of things 'owning' othe

It took me about a day and half to upgrade a good sized project, and most of that time was spent sorting out native code. If you don't use native code and are using StartApp then its a fairly trivial/methodical upgrade process.

Another approach is to use extensible records, which give you structural typing similarly to Typescript. This means that you can pass the exact same state record/object around to different components, but a particular component might

I've never used ClojureScript so I can't speak for that, but the ports are now a lot easier in 0.17 as an outgoing port is simply a function that you can call, instead of messing about with Signals. Effectively, you send stuff to

Its a little wordy, but now that I'm used to it, it takes no time to write decoders/encoders. There is also a tool to automatically generate them from JSON input at http://noredink.github.io/json-to-elm/

I moved from React/Redux/Typescript to Elm a few months ago, and I'm now on my second serious project with it, making mobile application with Cordova. I've found it an absolute pleasure to use, and I especially like tha

bpm ( http://www.getbpm.org/ ) works with Amber and compiles multiple Javascript, SCSS and Coffeescript into a single JS and CSS file. It also has a mode where it does it in realtime for development use.
