This looks really cool, but heads up, there were no up front descriptions or links I could follow to find out what Gleam is (a programming language that runs on the Erlang VM).

This isn't really meant to replace such things an environment where you have a rendering engine that supports CSS— I think demoing it on the page is more for showing off how portable it is with WASM. Off the top of my head, a few uses

Anecdotally, I remember multiple instances of coworkers walking out in the middle of a shift when I worked as a cook in a chain restaurant due to the combination of high stress (including abuse from customers and management) and low wages.

I also prefer hooks. They give you the flexibility of mixins with a better composition story. And reusing hooks in my experience is more like a lightweight OOP style, compared to the somewhat clunky FP ceremony of higher order components, a

clinton's slashing of the welfare state is a matter of degree, not the only instance of purported beneficiaries losing benefits. medicare part d doesn't allow the government to negotiate prices and thus functions more as a subsidy

this may seem like a coherent view of history if you view it as a series of decisions made by great men based solely on their personal beliefs, as opposed to protracted contests over resources & power by organized groups, like the radic

this is a hollow charge of hypocrisy, as i am not currently in 1865 arguing against the 13th amendment by saying the emancipation proclamation was enough. neither does the insufficiency of reconstruction absolve the butchers of the confeder
