Are there academic paradigms in web frontend dev in the same way there are FP academic paradigms? (lemy.lol)

I constantly hear about research into functional programming, and even real things coming out of them, like certain programming languages (idris).

Is there anything like this for frontend UI dev? It doesn't have to be FP related.

It does look pretty damn cool. One thing that bothers me is it is in the npm ecoystem :)

Thanks for that explanation. That makes sense.

I guess I should also mention IHP.

As far as npm and Purescript goes: I don’t interact with npm when I use it. I use nix and nixpkgs to build it which pulls packages from a predefined, fixed package set inside of Pursuit (Purescript’s package manager that feels a whole lot like Stackage). I suppose if I wanted to use it in the real world, I’d probably have to expose myself to some npm. But, from my cursory understanding and experience, it is probably less tainted by the safety issues in the npm than straight up JavaScript. Packages in Pursuit (particularly the ones exposed in the standard package set I use) tend to be super high quality code like the modules you’d find in GHC.
