matrix VS revery

Interesting.

Does anyone know of a common lisp library similar to R's shiny? It provideas a simple way to define the UI elements and how they intereact with the user's actions: https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/basics.html

At some point I thought about porting the first release of shiny, which was relatively simple, and keep adding features but I realized that there is a lot of code in the javascript/browser side and I would never find my way around it.

The most relevant thing I found was this clojure(script) reactive web framework from Kenny Tilton: https://github.com/kennytilton/matrix

Realizing I'm actually answering all the comments :o It's too early for me to talk about Stack, only that I'm using Clojure/Clojurescript, and considering Fulcro, though I might try an experimental version with a project called matrix Just because it looks cool, and its a side-project so I can do whatever I want.

OCaml has actually put some decent effort into good GUI libraries, such as https://github.com/revery-ui/revery.

I never tried CoffeeScript since nobody pays me for it, though I am curious about ReasonML as an alternative, there's a Neovim front-end[0] coded in Reason that compiles natively[1], and supports existing VS Code plugins from the VSCodium plugin repository[2] which I still have yet to look at how the heck they pulled that bit off, but it is pretty interesting.

Maybe a technology like https://www.outrunlabs.com/revery/ would provide a better experience though it would require rebuilding the frontend, I presume.

It uses Revery which is still just javascript

No, I can’t say I’m familiar with a mature, cross-platform GUI framework which exists today that is any good. I’m keeping an eye on Revery, though.
