If you’re a #haskell user or a proponent of #functionalprogramming please consider donating to the #Purescript project to keep it alive.
It’s a fairly obscure project but, IMO, it is THE language for web #frontend.
On top of that, the backend was recently rewritten in #ChezScheme which tends to be very popular choice in the #formalmethods world due to its rigor.
I see #ghcjs nipping at its heels but IMO, PS will always be a more bespoke and opinionated tool.
I knew on a theoretical level that this is problem, but realizing that the current implementation of getCurrentTime in #haskell #ghcjs will just throw runtime errors starting in 2038 feels weirdly disconcerting. Ah, part of the realization was also that we might need to deal with dates before 1901 or after 2038 long before we get there. So sitting this out is probably not a good idea.
pointfree.io just went offline. Heroku dropped free plans or something.
So I just rewrote it as a static site!
Warning: it’s 50 MB of javascript :blobcatsweat:
I wrote a short #haskell script to parse @benoitmandelbot coordinates and convert them to a link to my #mandelbrot #web interface
https://mathr.co.uk/mandelbrot/BenoitMandelbot2MandelbrotWeb.hs
https://mathr.co.uk/mandelbrot/web/
it does #fractal rendering in javascript as well as symbolic computations cross-compiled using #ghcjs
