raku HTML::Functional
This is a reproduction of the talk I gave today at the awesome London Perl & Raku Workshop. I met a couple of cool rakuteers and enjoyed the relaxed congregation of perl and raku folk. Seems like the anger has subsided not least thanks to the name change from perl6 to raku. Thanks to all the sponsors, organisers and attendees.
The more observant members of the raku community will notice that I released a new raku module HTML::Functional a couple of weeks back.
The general idea for this came from the Software Unscripted podcast created by Richard Feldman … one of the dev team on the Elm language – A delightful language for reliable web applications.
Elm is a functional language that streamlines the development of websites by making the code simpler, more composable, more expressive and more maintainable than raw HTML. I want this for raku!
Actually I want to code my HTML on the server side with raku whereas Elm compiles to JavaScript and runs in the browser. BUT I do like the Elm code style.
