  • Solid.js feels like what I always wanted React to be
    17 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 28 Feb 2022
    Yeah? I wrote something to deal with it too (https://github.com/toastal/return-optics) 5.5 years ago. You arguably chose the wrong data as `(model, Cmd msg, Maybe extMsg)` instead of `(model, Cmd msg, List extMsg)` which would give you more flexibility and still functions as a monoid on [] instead of Nothing, but allows multiple messages shrug. I tried this approach more recently and it involved me having to encode all of actions in a massive tree and then I still had issues with certain messages including now having to UUID all elements that that previously I didn't need to think about. It was a mess, but the best I could do with the tools at hand.

    If you compare this to Halogen (https://github.com/purescript-halogen/purescript-halogen/blo...) where you still have purity but can set up subscribers and listeners from any component. It's much easier to use and for some components like dialogs, it's much simpler. And this actually isn't the best example because with the latest Halogen, Portals (https://github.com/purescript-halogen/purescript-halogen/pul...) was introduced so you can launch a dialog on the spot instead of even needing to communicate between them at all.

  • Are there any go backends that work with solid?
    1 project | /r/solidjs | 14 Apr 2023
    I did try this but I'm not sure what you mean with the ssrLoadFrom. Is there any documentation on this, all I could find was the examples folder in solidjs: solid-ssr?
  • Solid JS compared to svelte?
    2 projects | /r/solidjs | 17 Mar 2023
    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.

  • Proposal for separation of concerns and immutable state
    1 project | /r/solidjs | 26 Jan 2023
    I basically came up with an idea that is much like flutter's bloc pattern, and probably waht ryansolid was referring to in his reply to this issue when he said he made his own version of redux that codifies state changes instead of immutable state.
