wire-android VS slinky

Note that it doesn't mean you need to write your whole library in Scala 2.11. You can write it in 2.13, but then your build script must have an option to compile it with 2.11. You can see for example how it is done in wire-signals, an event stream library I worked on (https://github.com/wireapp/wire-signals/blob/main/core/build.sbt). wire-signals was then used in Wire Android, an Android client for the end-to-end encrypted messenger, Wire. You can search for "wireSignals" in this Gradle script: https://github.com/wireapp/wire-android/blob/develop/app/build.gradle (Wire Android is probably the biggest Android app ever written in Scala).

The current (still maintained) Android client of Wire, an end-to-end encrypted messenger, is written in Scala 2.11: https://github.com/wireapp/wire-android However, the new version is in progress and it will be in Kotlin.

Hey, same problem! I even opened a bug report at the time, which devs said they couldn't replicate :(.

I just looked last week out of curiosity. Apparently they figured it out sometime in 2019, and it had something to do with avatars. How odd.

Specifically, check the reply from LNFelton here - https://github.com/wireapp/wire-android/issues/777

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.
