Cycle.js VS Sass

Seems like you might be interested in this

Cycle

This is the standard way of going about things in Mithril and Cycle. Elm as well doesn't use an XML knockoff for view code- and as a fun fact, the original version of React didn't either.

For example, an FRP framework (created by the same author who later wrote the callbag spec): https://cycle.js.org/

TypeScript is relatively mainstream at this point, and I think that's good news. If you want to crank the type-safety and pure FP dials on it to 11, you certainly can do that. I have a project that I've based largely on this post, including the "hardcore" section. However, instead of Redux and otherwise plain React, I've chosen to use Cycle.js and the lessons from this post to use React in a very purely Functional Reactive Programming Way.

This post links to a PureScript project that is probably the easiest PS framework around.

ReScript + rescript-react is a good alternative. Less safe, waaaay more verbose; but backed by Facebook.

This is quite cute (in TypeScript though): https://github.com/cyclejs/cyclejs

And Yew is super cool, it goes the WASM route (in Rust): https://github.com/yewstack/yew

From now on I was on what I would call a typical open source trajectory. I used the Cycle.js framework to rewrite my frontend and in that process I hit some walls. I eventually figured that the error was on my side and that I was just missing some information to avoid the error. To spare others the hours of debugging I started to contribute small patches to the documentation. At the same time I also found some missing features that I voiced in GitHub issues.

SASS(.scss) [ https://sass-lang.com ]

Traditionally CSS lacked features such as variables, nesting, mixins, and functions. This was frustrating for Developers as it often led to CSS quickly becoming complex and cumbersome. In an attempt to make code easier and less repetitive CSS pre-processors were born. You would write CSS in the format the pre-processor understood and, at build time, you'd have some nice CSS. The most common pre-processors these days are Sass, Less, and Stylus. Any examples I give going forward will be about Sass as that's what I'm most familiar with.

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, and is a scripting language used to style web pages. SCSS stands for Syntactically Awesome Style Sheet, and is a superset of CSS. You can think of SCSS as the more advanced version of CSS, which comes with several features that CSS does not support, such as the SCSS nested syntax, as shown below.

Scss

In the past, you’d need to rely on pre-processors such as SaSS or Less, but not anymore… Native CSS nesting has landed on all major modern browsers.

Sass is also a css preprocessor. Op is likely confused

sass -> An improvement over CSS. It provides nice features for managing CSS. good for mid-sized or even larger projects.

Personally, my preference is Sass: I find that the mixins, partials, and operators are hugely useful when it comes to creating re-usable snippets of code for a design system. And, since it’s “just” a pre-processor and not a framework, it’s not opinionated in a design sense and there’s no default values (colors, spacing values, etc.) that will need to be overwritten.

Preprocessors: SSGs leverage preprocessors to streamline the development process. Preprocessors like SASS for CSS or Babel for JavaScript offer additional features and simplify code development.
