UIs are streaming DAGs
Watching the video is more effective than reading the transcript. It’s only 10 minutes; we worked hard to present this in a tight way that is respectful of everyone's attention.
Welcome. In this video, I’m going to describe a new paradigm for modern full-stack web development that is competitive with React.js, GraphQL and Relay. At Hyperfiddle, we’ve been researching how functional programming can be applied to simplify web development. This is the result of that research.
There are client-side DOM effects and server-side queries. It feels like such a composition should be well-defined, but it’s not, because of how the web works. The network makes us split our composed program into two separate programs, breaking function composition.
This is basically an impedance mismatch. Your programming language is designed for single programs but your application as a whole is a client/server distributed system.
