Re:Hyperfiddle/Photon, a new web stack with compiler managed... by lo5 on Friday June 24, 2022 @03:10AM (#31858605)
I love this!

I've achieved something very similar, but for Python[1].

I believe this approach will become the dominant paradigm in the future, precisely because of what of what you can't see - no API and no client/server separation - eliminates a whole bunch of accidental complexity.

My first startup a decade ago used a similar approach to build a exploratory visual analytics environment - lisps rock at this.

It's neat that Hyperfiddle subsumes data access, too. I have a similar compiler-driven approach that will ship later this year for desktop/mobile apps.
