Laminar VS tyrian

My quite niche open source project broke this threshold last year, via Github sponsorships. Of course, I put a lot of time into it, so it's not "passive income" or even "market rate income", but still, without these sponsorships I wouldn't be able to work on it so much.

The project is Laminar, a UI library for Scala.js https://laminar.dev

Have you looked at Laminar and Tyrian? Especially Tyrian seems to be close to what you're looking for.

For Scala there is Laminar, which has an even flashier website with nice docs. I haven't tested it out though, as I have never used Scala.

This is very true. I really hate svelte single file components. But then I tried JSX for breaking things down. I love solid but I don't feel really good about angle brackets within C style syntax. I saw this Scala library that stick with simple statically typed function syntax than html tags. I don't understand why people still wants to stick with xml like tags. In laminar markup is written like this scala div( h1("Hello world", color := "red"), inputCaption, input(inputMods, name := "fullName"), div( ">>", button("Submit"), "<<" ) ) I wish solid team makes their HyperScript syntax as performant as JSX.

Laminar (Scala framework) hasn't been mentioned yet so dropping it here as an awesome framework that support HTML-over-the-wire. It can be used together with React, HTMX, and many other frontend frameworks -- but doesn't have to be.

Maybe Laminar?

If you want to try TEA, but not Elm I reccomend Scala.js with Tyrian[1]. Scala.js is a wonderful, mature project and Tyrian gives you the elm architecture in a very pragmatic way.

All examples and Tyrian's g8 template have been brought up to date, the docs site will probably lag behind a bit as usual. 😬

What I wrote is obviously based on my experience as backend and data engineer. I'm so happy to see an adoption on the Frontend side (with things like Tyrian or OutWatch) and would be even happier if there was a clean path to Android. Out of curiosity, what do you find appealing in Scala, compared to e.g. Kotlin?

Yes, I have. It didn't work out. There are quite neat libs like Tyrian, but they lack any ecosystem and I struggled to integrate it with pure JS libs - yet our app has a lot of very common components/widgets that we're really hesitating to write ourselves.
