   Hibiki HTML – New frontend framework – no scaffolding, no Webpack▲232

   Source https://github.com/dashborg/hibiki | Interactive Tutorial https://playground.hibikihtml.com/tutorial/ I love JavaScript, but for many projects -- especially internal tools and prototypes -- setting up a full frontend JavaScript stack (npm, webpack, babel, create-react-app, redux) and all of their configuration files, folders, and scaffolding is overkill. Hibiki HTML incrementally plugs into any backend, using any template language (even static HTML files) with a single script include. It includes a built-in frontend data model, Vue.js-like…

    Thi.ng/hdom – S-expression based, pure ES6 UI/VDOM components▲180

    https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/blob/master/packages/hdom... Lightweight UI component tree definition syntax, DOM creation and differential updates using only vanilla JS data structures (arrays, iterators, closures, attribute objects or objects with life cycle functions, closures). By default targets the browser's native DOM, but supports other arbitrary target implementations in a branch-local manner, e.g. to define scene graphs for a canvas element as part of the normal UI tree. Benefits: - Use the full expressiveness of ES6 / TypeScript to…

    Full-stack _hyperscript Node.js TODO web app (with Htmx)▲5

    Hey HN! I think _hyperscript is an insanely cool language, and while designed for simple front-end DOM interactions, I thought it would be a cool back-end scripting language as well. So, I slapped together a TODO app with a _hyperscript bootstrapping script based on the original repository's node-hyperscript example. My repo isn't clean, just something I worked out over a weekend to prove the concept, also an excuse to play with htmx. :) Please read the README, and let me know how, if anyone's interested, I can work in some of my tweaks to the original repository. I'm kind of a noob with…

    Lambda 0.2 – a func language better than TypeScrip, jq and jQuery▲9

    What's your tool chain for data and document processing? - jq is great, but limited to JSON; and jQuery limited to HTML; templating systems get messy for non-trivial logic; TypeScript lacks pattern matching and schema support. So I built Lambda — an expressive functional language that combines the power of Lisp, TypeScript, and many DSLs like jq, jQuery, RelaxNG, etc. It has a lightweight 9 MB runtime, built from scratch in C/C++, that provides an end-to-end document processing pipeline (parse → validate/query/transform → layout → render/view). Internally, Lambda parse…
