Do you think this depends on the peoples prior experience level whether they prefer either way? Or is mostly personal? At least in my case I remember when I had C as a first language in school about 14 years ago, after an initial rush of jo

While I think what you say is often true, there is still room for informing people not fully into it. When I was around 14 I got emersed into various ufo theories and all sort of allegedly "mysterious" things. This all broke down

Yeah, I expect it to be an exciting adventure down the rabbit hole starting from my visual Pure Data prototypes. And I have no clue what lurks beneath:)

I mentioned CRUD web apps because first, I get the feeling that at least a bunch of the comments talking about high learning curve of Rust are from web developers expecting as fast an on-boarding as say in Python, Node.js or Go and more imp

I'm not using elm but i do like slower release cycles. For example some years ago I wanted to give node.js a shot for some backend stuff for a side project. But every couple of days when I wanted to work on it I had to spent half an ho

I'm all for letting people do their thing and try different approaches. But honestly to me it seems the elm community wants to have their cake and eat it too. Of course that is not a trait unique to them. As somebody not involved with

For me user expectations and whether you actually have the resources to produce a quality SPA are the biggest deciding factor. I don't have a strong opinion on SPAs in the general case, but I find it worrisome that it seems that SPAs a
