Webdev is seen as a feminine practice and the hate on javascript/css + the push for typescript and increasing complexity is an attempt to “legitimise” development as engineering practice while pushing out voices (woman, queer, poc) that were once liberated by the web 🤐

wait until the JS gang find out there’s another BEAM language that…
- also compiles to js for incremental adoption
- has a stronger type system than ts
- is as simple to pick up as go

Built in Gleam and with lustre, it’s so cool to see lustre being used in the wild!!

While Elixir folks are competing against frontend folks on where to run the application, Lustre is quietly doing both in the same app.
I’ll be talking about this at
@LambdaDays
later this month want to have your cake and eat it too? come check it out 💕
Just do everything on the server and send the result to the client instead of building an API so the client can turn the data into UI, everything is so much easier.
This is why LiveView is so good.
More secure, device performance is ignored, dev ex is better.

The cool thing about lustre is that you can run a component on the server or the client without changing the component code.. just take the code and run it somewhere else 😎
@gleamlang
compiling to the beam and js unlocks so much power its ridiculous 🔥🔥
These problems can happen in LiveView too, but here's the thing. It really boils down to:
- know *when* to use js. If you can do it in js, use js.
- when you have to do it server side, make sure you give good loading UI.

@eileenmnoonan
Compared to Elm, ootb you get:
- an actual dev server
- a bundler because its 2024
- an LSP and formatter built into the language itself
- first party support for ssr (eg elm pages) and isomorphic apps (eg lamdera)
And thats after a *year*. Imagine where we’ll be after 12 🤯

This is probably the most exciting gleam release until v1
- better formatting for html DSLs
- **full exhaustiveness checks**
- better wasm compiler api for browser-embedded playgrounds
For many, lack of exhaustiveness checks was a real deal breaker - I hope this draws folks in!

A solid web framework should let you choose where that state lives and make it easy to change that decision.
Lustre applications are composed of Apps and the killer feature is these can run anywhere without modification:
- SSR
- SPA
- web component
- Realtime server component

Up until now you’ve been on your own to work out SPA routing in lustre. This afternoon i published modem - a package that makes managing URL state in your lustre apps super simple!

My experience with gleam is that it makes a bunch of stylistic choices I wouldn’t necessarily make myself, but in return it makes *everyone* write the same code.
So nice to hop into *any* code base and see code formatted identically, things named consistently, … it’s worth it!

I love react as much as I love
@elmlang
. I think it can be a joy to work with, but typescript and next have truly sucked the joy out of it.
5 days a week I piss around in ts/next apps and it is so draining.
Happened to me. I got extremely burned out on all the overengineered (and unstable) monstrosities that Vercel is pushing to Next, so I migrated to
@rails
and later to
@elixirphoenix
. Both are killing it, and are 1000x more stable

Leadership is about people, that shouldnt catch you by surprise.
This kind of attitude might make you feel “I’m top of the world” because you made some money as a 20 yr old. But it will bite your back soon enough.
Attitude impacts work, we had a client last year with the same attitude and I played nice, asked him to be respectful and still

This whole discussion was interesting to follow along to, i think lustre server components solve exactly this problem - i’m so damn exciting to release this thing y’all
I'm learning liveview since a couple of months and I love the idea, love how easy it is to do "hello world" examples. On the other hand as I'm starting to creating reusable "components", I'm really scratching my head how people write anything beyond "hello world" in it.

Want to get stuck in straight away?
Server components are still under-documented right now, but the benefit of truly isomorphic components is you can write things for the client today and selectively run bits on the server tomorrow.

Really function captures are used 90% in pipes for positional piping, and 10% of the time in places where you’re passing something into (or similar) and need the “hole” to say where the data goes
