Show HN: 1kb JavaScript library for building front end applications

Thx. Hadn't looked at timelines, and assumed it was the other way. Great job w/ hyperapp. Congrats!

FWIW I like Elm, and hyperapp seems a delightful port of the TEA idea ... plus for being a js library, with immediate access to JS and DOM. I'll look for examples using 3rd party visual widgets, and animation libraries.

That said IMO TEA is only a convenience. What I find supremely empowering about Elm is its type inference/system. If we got that in JS-land I likely wouldn't look at another language for some time to come :)

Thanks! I love Elm too. Elm is functional programming for the masses! Recently I'm kind of more curious about ClojureScript.

That said, you can totally use Flow or TypeScript with hyperapp.

This is going off-topic, apologies.

Yes, of course, re using TypeScript or Flow. However ... I'm not a fan of TypeScript -- if I'm going to use a different "language" (albeit one that's a transpile-able thin veneer over JS) I may as well switch to a language w/ an even better type system.

Flow, from the little I know, is closer to what I want -- still JS, but an annotation or "compilation switch" makes everything typecheck.

Same here. Flow is great though and you can use it without annotations too, just not as useful.

Ha, funny -- clicking that link leads to a page w/ this message: "This page is unavailable when linked to from news.ycombinator.com. Please find a less toxic place to spend your time." :-)

The link works when copy/pasted. Let me read.

I'm also really into Clojure/ClojureScript these days. I'm going to look into getting a data-oriented version of either hyperapp or picodom implemented in ClojureScript.
