lumen VS purescript

There are details on this also: https://github.com/GetFirefly/firefly#runtime

Generally it should be assumed that actors and their concurrency model is fully supported as that is a part of the core semantics for BEAM languages.

I think this project used to be called Lumen until pretty recently - https://github.com/GetFirefly/firefly

Probably not a practical solution for what you are building now, but it's worth pointing out Lumen, an Erlang VM implementation that compiles to WebAssembly, and could one day enable Elixir on the frontend.

Another vector could be some tooling that makes it easy to run Go programs compiled to Wasm run inside of Wasmtime environment hosted in Rust. If we run the go tooling in the same system, one could point this tool at a Go repo and be running that Go in a matter of milliseconds. A fun feature would be running channels across separate Wasm envs. Or maybe use Lumen.

Wish the Elixir WASM project -- Lumen -- were active. It seems like nothing much is happening on it.

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.

Unless you want to switch to https://www.purescript.org/.

PureScript[1][2] seems pretty alive these days. From my relatively small, self-contained experiments, it's a lot more flexible and expressive than Elm at the expense of (maybe?) being a bit harder to learn up-front.

*cough* I mean Purescript.

Assuming this is a PS knock, fwiw this went away a good bit ago: https://github.com/purescript/purescript/releases/tag/v0.14.2
