slinky VS diode

It also benefits from being one of the only full-stack languages.

Scala.js has excellent front-end frameworks like Slinky React [1], Laminar [2] and Scala has industry-leading concurrency libraries like ZIO [3]. I've yet to find anything that comes close for end to end web apps.

I hope you do a tutorial with Slinky.

If you are just starting I would strongly recommend going with Slinky over Scalajs-React as it it's very close to normal Javascript and will make the translation easier.

Slinky for me is a perfect example of a library.

For those interested in Scala.js I would recommend two UI frameworks:

a) Slinky - https://slinky.dev

b) Laminar - https://slinky.dev

p.s. Slinky is another Scala.js based React wrapper that you might like to explore.

Slinky has an example of their docs being generated using SSR with Scala.js.

b) Slinky is by far my favourite React framework. It is simple, well supported and matches up with Javascript so you easily port code. You can use any React UI library you like although my preference right now is Shoelace. I can open source my wrappers if there is interest.

Slinky shines here because it is pretty similar to writing React in js, you can even export your own components to be consumed from js apps, I consider this the better alternative for onboarding js people.

I've started with scalajs-react. Overall the experience was good (perhaps the overloaded API is my biggest concern, but we can live with that). Then I stumbled upon a problem where I need to propagate a state change from two leaf components and found out I need something like this Redux thing. I trtied built-in StateSnapshot, but couldn't make it working. Then I googled for Scala-land alternatives and it seems like there are few semi-abandoned Redux facades and Diode. Diode looks like what I need, but:

c) Diode is my favourite "wiring" library. It is similar to Redux and allows you to handle asynchronous behaviour in your frontend. It has a learning curve but it's not too bad and makes everything so much easier.

Japgolly has put a ton of time and care into https://github.com/japgolly/scalajs-react which is a complete React binding in scalajs. This paired with something like Diode (https://github.com/suzaku-io/diode) and you get a full frontend solution in scalajs.
