Hi! I’ve created this page to showcase the features of Mint (since there are so many) and their corresponding versions in other similar languages.
Suggestion: please update the colors so colorblind people like me have an easier time reading this chart
or add symbols. probably add symbols.
Question: Can you suggest resources or tips for picking colors that are friendly for color-blind people? Is it easier to differentiate based upon saturation?
I try to differentiable based on lightness/brightness
I don’t have any go to tool :( bit of over color is father than the other is easier to see
Thank you!
Why is single line comments listed when it’s green for all of them? Do they not have multi-line comments?
This is very incomplete. Like to see it become more complete.
Clojurescript and purescript are my favourites.
I do my frontend in Rust thankyouverymuch.
Exceptions are not good. Alternatives are better
Interesting, but the colours for exceptions are inverted. One of the features that Elm touts on its front page is that it doesn’t have exceptions.
Structural equality is also debatable.
I would have also chosen green for “no exceptions”. This is the way.
As far as I can tell, the table is purely informational and not advocating for any features as being positive or negative.
Otherwise, yeah the colors make no sense.
Green is good and red is bad. If that wasn’t the intent they should have used different colours.
My point is that the colors make so little sense that the only thing that makes sense is to decouple the colors from any meaning.
This table is so lacking and flawed that I don’t even know why there’s so much discussion around it.
What are "frontend language"s?
Just wondering if this is very incomplete or due to scoping.
Languages well suited for client side web code. Most of these (maybe all?) compile to JavaScript and are designed for the web.
Web is just one kind of frontend though. And there’s more ways to target web with JavaScript interfacing than transpiling to JavaScript.
Sure, but without further context, “frontend” means the web. And “frontend language” means languages that were designed for the frontend. You can write a website fromtend in Python, but you absolutely shouldn’t!
You can use languages like Java and Rust too which are more reasonable options, but they aren’t “frontend languages”.
Not seeing any links to a page, what’s up?
This is how I learned about ReScript
I love that little language. I learned ReasonML for fun and built a few toy apps a long time ago, but ReScript has been cool to watch
just hoping crystal gets more attention from the community _
Technically, Purescript has support for exceptions since it compiles to javascript, but the more standard way to encode exception is through monadic interface
