squirrel VS scalajs-react

Not that hard, actually: http://www.squirrel-lang.org/

I just downloaded it last night I learned on Lua and it's still my favorite language this is kinda based on it from.what I've read anyone try it yet any anythingjust in case y'all think I'm crazy there's the link to there home page I'm not playing with roadkill calling it programming or training squirrels or at least that's not what this is about

A question: would it be too much work to port Love2D to a different embedding language? (I'm currently having looks at Squirrel (http://www.squirrel-lang.org/) I always thought Lua was tightly coupled with the framework, but what you've mentioned seems to imply that's not the case.

The second one that comes to mind is Squirrel, which is a compiled language designed to be embedded into other programs. It’s similar to lua in concept, but closer to C in syntax. I never did a lot with it, but I did learn it.

Then there's scalajs-react, which can be integrated with existing React ecosystem, but it's just sooo compex: macros, 5-6 type parameters, hundreds and hundreds of cryptic types. We decided to stick with TypeScript instead.

Or the OG React Scala.js library: https://github.com/japgolly/scalajs-react

Japgolly has put a ton of time and care into https://github.com/japgolly/scalajs-react which is a complete React binding in scalajs. This paired with something like Diode (https://github.com/suzaku-io/diode) and you get a full frontend solution in scalajs.

We've got server-side rendering with scalajs-react and scala-graal. Here's a tutorial if anyone's interested. What's really cool about scala-graal is that it has some pretty cool caching so that even with dynamic inputs, you can render pages in nanoseconds (as opposed to 10+ or even 100+ ms).

You can use React with Scala.js, and also most other common JS libraries. Or you can use a Scala.js specific library like Laminar, which I haven't tried myself but it looks nice.

I don't have a lot of experience with it, but many seem to be very pleased with it. Interop with JS is good and you can use React and other common JS libraries, but there is also Scala.js specific frameworks like Laminar.

https://github.com/japgolly/scalajs-react is pretty heavily used as well, and fairly active as a project. In short, building it off of that wouldn't be a huge risk over typescript, and might even be a net win in the long run, as you could re-use some stuff from the backend in the front-end.
