New server-side framework based on monadic parsing
This is cool. I just want to give a shoutout to Suave, which is the original inspiration for Giraffe, and is still my go-to web server in F#.

Building a Webpack alternative in F#
This shouldn't be that hard, I just needed a server that well... served the HTML/CSS/JS files right? I went to my desktop, created an F# script added a couple of libraries like Suave and CliWrap so I could call the dotnet fable command from my F# code and make it compile my Fable files.

Introducing Giraffe.Htmx
Giraffe is a library that sits atop ASP.NET Core and allows developers to build web applications in a functional style; dotnet new giraffe is literally my starting point when I begin a new web application project. (Rather than write three more sentences filled with effusive praise, I’ll just leave it at that; it’s great.) It also provides a view engine (that builds upon Suave‘s “experimental” view engine) which uses an F# DSL to define HTML in a strongly-typed way. It has been incredibly efficient for a while, but with .NET’s work over the past two releases at improving performance, and Giraffe’s adoption of those techniques, it is lightning fast.

F(#)ront-end Experience like Re-Frame (clojure(script))?
The Feliz DSL https://zaid-ajaj.github.io/Feliz/ looks fairly similar to Reagent or there's Fable.Lit https://fable.io/Fable.Lit/ which is more like jsx in that you write the html directly, adding active components via interpolated string mechanisms. There is a VS Code add in that gives you html+css syntax highlighting and auto complete inside your F# files.

Exploring The F# Frontend Landscape
This is my personal favorite one when it comes to Fable options, Fable.Lit builds on top of lit.dev which is a web component library built on web standards. It brings performant straightforward and inter-framework compatible components to the F# FE landscape since Lit works with DOM elements themselves rather than abstractions you can manipulate component instances like if you were doing vanilla JavaScript except that you can use the F# safety for that.

Building a Webpack alternative in F#
Around September vite got traction with the vue user base and other users as well. I also studied a bit the vite source code, and even used it for some Fable material for posts. I was trying to make some awareness of Fable.Lit support for Web Components and I wanted to experiment in reality how good vite was, and boi it's awesome If you're starting new projects that depend on node tooling in my opinion, it's your best bet.

Fable is a compiler that brings F# into the JavaScript ecosystem
I don't know a ton about Fable, but they recently wrapped Google's Lit to allow building functional templating and web components in it: https://fable.io/Fable.Lit/
Seems like a neat project.
