No lifetimes, absolutely no plans to add anything similar. We’re nothing like rust!

They're kind of solving different problems. It's a bit like TypeScript vs Elm or PureScript: one is a type system overlaid onto an existing language with its own rich ecosystem and set of idioms, and the other is a new language th

Lustre (hi, author here) has isomorphic components so you can render components both on the client or as realtime LiveView-esque things on the server, which I think is what the commenter was alluding to. Definitely not a full-stack framewor

I think the author might have a debug build enabled. If you open the console you can see timing information logged. Loading the introduction page of the docs [0] logs... [Debug] Hologram: runtime script executed [Debug] Hologram: page scrip

Author of Lustre here! Yeah I agree, lack of a robust headless component library like radix-ui or react-aria is such a mark against Elm. I think it's even more important for Lustre because really all our users are going to be backendy

Hey there, I maintain a library a called lustre [0] that does similar things to liveview. The linked docs are the API reference, but there's not currently a guide or a robust example on how to put things together (there's a bare m

Gleam doesn't have auto currying! Often folks find this (currying) a bit confusing to wrap their head around when learning functional programming and we don't feel like it really affords you much that couldn't already be achi
