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.

[AskJS] Is there a website out there for learning functional programming in javascript?
i like reading this book directly from github with dark mode, also the subheading don't work in the gitbook website and gitbook is abandoned, here's the github link: https://github.com/MostlyAdequate/mostly-adequate-guide/blob/master/SUMMARY.md
- FE devs, ceva sfaturi pentru un junior?
- How do you run an effective clean code book club, and looking for homework ideas?

FP techniques that will help you write better JavaScript
It’s been a while since I focused on FP, but I recall finding this useful quite often and gleaning the concepts from it relatively easily.
https://github.com/MostlyAdequate/mostly-adequate-guide
I found a lot of articles like the OP, and ultimately they left me confused about the benefits in the beginning. I found it more useful to avoid one off articles and dig into larger pieces of work where the author put in much more care.

Help an old OO developer figure out current practices for structuring server side javascript?
On the book front, there are two that I am fond of which have a focus on JavaScript and FP, Professor Frisby’s Mostly Adaquate Guide, and Functional Light JavaScript. They are nice practical books that help you lean into JS’s strength as an FP language while writing real code.

Ask HN: Hey Functional Programmers, how did you learn functional programming
So, this is going to be an uphill battle for you. I suggest you actually learn Haskell first, and then you'll be able to apply its lessons to TypeScript.
Its tricky because these are patterns that are familiar in Haskell but are not really taught in other settings.
Additionally, to really learn these, you need to experiment with them. Use them. etc. That's pretty hard to do if the learning resources are mostly in haskell and you don't really understand it.
Alternatively, this might help: https://github.com/MostlyAdequate/mostly-adequate-guide
Also alternatively, what I would do is just go slowly through the fp-ts code. Look at it a piece at a time and slowly grow your understanding.

Release Radar • March 2024 Edition
Want a friendly language for building safe systems at scale? Gleam is here for you. It features modern and familiar syntax, that's reliable and scalable. Gleam runs on an Erlang virtual machine, and can run plenty of concurrent tasks. It comes with a compiler, build tool, formatter, editor integrations, and package manager all built in so you can get started right away. Congrats to the team on shipping your first major version 🙌.

The Current State of Clojure's Machine Learning Ecosystem
While I love Clojure, I have to agree about tooling. I recently started using Gleam* and was impressed at how easy it was to get up and running with the CLI tool. I think this is an important part of getting people to adopt a language.

Show HN: I open-sourced the in-memory PostgreSQL I built at work for E2E tests
If you use languages that compile to WASM (such as Gleam https://gleam.run), and can also run Postgres via WASM, then it opens very interesting offline scenarios with codebases which are similar on both the client and the server, for instance.

Why the number of Gleam programmers is growing so fast?
Recently, Gleam has gained more popularity, and a lot of developers (including me) are learning it. At the time of this writing, it has exceeded 14k stars on GitHub; it grew really fast for the last month.
- Cranelift code generation comes to Rust
- Gleam v1.0.0
- Gleam has a 1.0 release candidate

Welcome to the Gleam Language Tour
Oh, strange that github had a date of 2016 on this one: https://github.com/gleam-lang/gleam/issues/2
I was just going by that, though I do remember checking out gleam 5 years ago or so.
Re: macros, I really do think they’re a big deal and all the other newer languages I’ve used, such as Rust have some kind of macros or powerful meta programming features.
For older languages, a few, like Ruby have enough meta programmability to make nice DSLs, but many others don’t. Given the choice, I’d much rather have Elixir/Clojure style macros than other meta-programming facilities I’ve seen so far.

Inko Programming Language
I had been only following this language with some interest, I guess this was born in gitlab not sure if the creator(s) still work there. This is what I'd have wanted golang to be (albeit with GC when you do not have clear lifetimes).
But how would you differentiate yourself from https://gleam.run which can leverage the OTP, I'd be more interested if we can adapt Gleam to graalvm isolates so we can leverage the JVM ecosystem.

Switching to Elixir
I don't think the implementation itself is at fault, but yes, I do think that the design of dialyzer makes it an (at times) faulty type checker. The unfortunate reality of a type checker that fails sometimes is that it makes it mostly useless because you can never trust that it'll do the job.
To be clear, I've had it fail in a function where I've literally specced that very function to return a `binary` but I'm returning an `integer` in one of the cases. This is a very shallow context but it can still fail. Now add more functions, maybe one more `case`.
I think an entire rethink of type checking on the BEAM had to be done and that's why eqWalizer[0] was created and why Elixir is looking to add an actual sound, well-developed type checker. Gleam[1] I would assume is just a Hindley-Milner system so that's completely solid. `purerl`[2] is just PureScript for the BEAM so that's also Hindley-Milner, meaning it's solid. `purerl` has some performance issues caused by it compiling down to closures everywhere but if you can pay that cost it's actually pretty fantastic. With that said my bet for the best statically typed experience right now on the BEAM would be `gleam`.
