Zaid Ajaj probably has had the biggest impact in establishing the Fable/F# ecosystem.
Besides his numerous repos, the Elmish book [1] is really awesome.

Zaid Ajaj is prolific to say the least. I can't believe the number of F# tools he has created.

For those interested in Svetle, Sutil is another thing to check out. Top of my head I can’t remember if it is based on or just inspired by Feliz.

It's inspired heavily by Svelte itself, and borrows the Feliz DSL for building DOM. Feliz itself is a layer on top of React, Sutil is ground-up raw DOM building.

> optimized for happiness
I like React and I like F#. But I never understand this kind of marketing. It's not that I want things optimized for pain. But I guess I'm just most interested in the technical choices and actual performance in the domain over my own happiness?

I'd imagine the folks who take up these projects require f# everywhere in their lives to obtain happiness

Since the F# transpiles into JS at runtime it's really no different than, say, TS in terms of performance concerns.
Unless you meant something else there?

I mean that the marketing around "happiness" doesn't directly address any concerns that developers should have when evaluating a library. At best it's indirect if you assume that happiness means performance, but that's a big assumption.
So I'd rather marketing just say exactly what it's direct goals are rather than indirect ones like happiness.

But as a particular point, this is hard to believe. TS tries to have no (or a minimal) runtime component whereas F# definitely must have a major runtime component.
