ixset-typed VS miso

For those interested in DOM-related benchmarks using GHCJS. Miso has some benchmarks here: https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.html (Ctrl+F `miso`)

ghcjs is the way to go for you, and soon it might be asterius. i do not know how hard it is to set ghcjs up without a framework. but frameworks like obelisk (based on reflex-dom), shpadoinkle, and miso automate that for. i personally like obelisk for its functional reactive programming but it can get awkward and get in your way. so if gui programming is just a means to the end of this one small application and you are not really interested in it nor functional reactive programming, shpadoinkle or miso might suit you better. miso implements the elm architecture (also "TEA", "functional model view controller") and shpadoinkle implements something directly equivalent to the elm architecture. but shpadoinkle achieves more composable widgets by minimalizing the elm architecture. so i recommend shpadoinkle for its better concept although miso is more mature.

via ghcjs (miso, etc.)

I've built miso, https://haskell-miso.org and it does use the VDOM appraoch. Svelte uses static analysis to compile down to the minimum number of DOM operations required to run your specific app. I think it's the future. This would only be possible in Haskell w/ GHCJS, since you'd need the GHCJS runtime to support it.

Eventually, miso will maybe use haskell.nix directly by itself: https://github.com/dmjio/miso/pull/656

I don't know if it is relevant to you, but miso (both master and latest release) work just fine with GHCJS 8.10.

Other than that, I ran into a GHCJS and Miso bug, but they weren't too hard to solve.

Miso works quite well if used through provided Nix derivations.
