gleam-lang / javascript Goto Github PK

Hello! First of all, great stuff, very cool language. And now, the gleam_javascript module is pretty nice but it doesn't have a licence. This might involve some legal troubles for people choosing to use this module.

Also I noticed some other Gleam modules also use gleam_javascript which, again, might present some troubles for some businesses or individuals.

I am kindly asking for a licence to be added.

Some nice stuff here

I would like to check if two references for equal. (I'm currently trying to write gleam code as close to this as possible)
My suggestion is a function called ref_equal

Currently if you want to use a library that is JS only, you would need to create the ffi bindings for it. A DOM ffi for the standard browser apis (document, window, etc) would be awesome.

It would be really cool if some tool existed that make conversion from TS definitions to Gleam ffi bridges, and ease the bridging part.

Maybe something like https://github.com/purescript-web can be used too 💯

I find Gleam to be a nicer alternative to Typescript. I would love to be used in Phoenix Hooks instead of typescript.

I made a simple example and my only concern is the amount of FFI bridges that are needed.
If something was available to automate this process would be much appreciated.

Seems like a key missing bit of promise functionality.
