Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- A new F# compiler feature: graph-based type-checking

ASP.NET Core Blazor
For those interested in .NET languages with alternative compilation targets, Elmish (https://elmish.github.io/elmish/) is pretty unique.
We use F# on the front end (instead of TS), and thanks to the Fable compiler (which transpiles F# to JS, Python, Dart, PHP and Rust), most of the benefits of an Elm-style model in the UI can be ported to all sorts of different outputs languages. The rust target is in beta, but its promising because the WASM bundle size stands to be dramatically lower.
While the default is reactivity library for Elmish is React, you can swap in Avalonia/FuncUI (https://github.com/fsprojects/Avalonia.FuncUI) pretty easily as well.

Building React Components Using Unions in TypeScript
Naturally I’d recommend using a better language such as ReScript or Elm or PureScript or F#‘s Fable + Elmish, but “React” is the king right now and people perceive TypeScript as “less risky” for jobs/hiring, so here we are.
-
F(#)ront-end Experience like Re-Frame (clojure(script))?
Since you're familiar with React + Reframe, you can try Elmish! You can use F# to write [Elmish](https://elmish.github.io/elmish/) apps. It takes the Elm approach to building apps.

Produce what exactly?
Who’s paying for this? https://github.com/elmish/elmish
-
Should I pick up OCaml or Haskell?
Try F# with Elmish.
-
Functional Reactive Programming
Maybe elmish could be of interest to you? https://github.com/elmish/elmish
-
Has TypeScript made you a better developer?
I never tried Elm directly, but I have used the F# equivalent Elmish - super productive idea.
-
F# and WebAssembly
You can also get nested templates, bind inputs, and radios for example by the way don't be scared by the mutable keyword right there is just to show a brief example in a normal situation you would likely be using Elmish

Managing State in Comet
Comet promotes a variation of the Model-View-Update pattern popularized by The Elm Architecture, Elmish, Fabulous and others. The major parts of MVU are:

Ask HN: Write once, run anywhere front ends failed. Thoughts?
> the first, MVP-style, attempt will be using Electron.
Good choice.
If you want to stick to HTML...WebView2 is suppose to replace it, but it assumes your backend code is .NET or C++, instead of JS/Node.js. Microsoft Teams is using it.
If you want to use native Windows UI components from JS code, then React Native for Windows is recommended. Facebook Messenger is using it.
All approaches require C# or C++ modules to be used to interact with the Windows Platform. Or there is: https://github.com/tjanczuk/edge.
The recommended approach is WinUI 3 which would involve C#/C++ and XAML.
To SwiftUI/React/JetPack are called module-view-update (MVU). There is an MVU for C# called Comet. https://github.com/dotnet/Comet#key-concepts

Clippy goes full cross-platform thanks to Avalonia UI framework
The benefit at least with the approach instead of embedding Avalonia inside Maui is you could potentially use non xaml frameworks for ui as long as they support Maui as a target. Stuff like Comet or Blazor mobile bindings would be possible aside from xaml. Especially if they're coming from Blazor web or code based ui frameworks like flutter which makes it appealing.
-
Hot reload with VS Code and iOS
That was using the experimental Comet extension and lib, based on .NET MAUI. You can find instructions here: https://github.com/dotnet/Comet
-
Is it possible to make desktop app gui's with just C#?
There are also experimental libraries for .NET MAUI, which let's you create UI only with C#: Comet, MauiReactor

What's new in the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit
The MVU library is called Comet. The lead developer recently left Microsoft but im still seeing commits on the repo which is a good sign!
-
Is .net MAUI appropriate for a bachelor's thesis?
Yeah the hybrid blazor stuff is interesting. So is https://github.com/dotnet/Comet.
-
XAML or C# code to build UI, which approach is preferred?
The XAML API is definitely more compact overall which is unfortunate, mostly because a lot of the devs prefer XAML. I've always preferred code-based UI though. Theres some 2ndish/3rd party options with Comet, which changes the UI pattern to MVU and C# Markup, which might not be updated for MAUI yet.
-
Blazor hybrid
All the C# parts for Hybrid (including the components themselves) are running natively. Only the UI part (e.g. html, css) under the Web View is running web tech (html, css) under a native webview of the platform. But you can also add native MAUI controls if you wanted to (either via XAML, or Comet) and mix and match as that webview control that Blazor uses is just a MAUI control.
- Why is xaml still a thing?
