  • php-codec

    A partial porting of io-ts in PHP.

  • I don't know the specific details of how the transition went exactly, I didn't work there.

    I know they moved into a more functional php, then typed php, then started rewriting some parts of the system to Haskell. The company got eventually bought up by a competitor and killed.

    Few companies I know here in Italy are going through a similar into more functional and statically typed php with efforts such as facile.it with libraries like that:

    Most go through the fp-ts/effect-ts ecosystems and never jump on the scala/haskell languages as they find functional typescript to be the sweet spot for them.

  • javelin

    Spreadsheet-like dataflow programming in ClojureScript.

  • I asked around and there is another option. Something called "Incremental Computations". Here is a Clojure library. I think the examples kinda demo how it works
