Is there a way to connect components similarly like react-redux so that they can access external state without prop drilling? Good job.

Can one do 3D in Gleam?

Wings3D is a 3D modeller written in Erlang so I would assume you could use Gleam for that as well given that it's the same runtime. Although I think it's probably not the best tool for the job.

Does not work for me on desktop Firefox. When I press the "make it swim!" button, there's an error in console: "Uncaught (in promise) Error: Fish model not loaded"

I could submit a fish on desktop Firefox, but apparently the fish died shortly thereafter. Voting is broken though.

EDIT: Nevermind! Now there's a problem uploading a fish, and the local aquarium is broken, so I can't view the previous one, either. It's a nice idea, but I really wish it worked better with Firefox (being on the web and all).

I don't find Elixir appealing for various reasons personally. But on a related note, I'm willing to bet on Gleam big time.

can you elaborate please ? thanks !

For a simple dev like me, that would be learning the lang and using it for some project.

Can you tell more, please? I'm interested to know what did you build that had an interesting growth to you. Could you please expand on one project of yours? Thank you!

What I've had heard so far about cod's troubles in the Baltic sea is that it's not salty enough for them. For cod to reproduce, their eggs need a certain salinity so that they swim to the right depth after they are spawned.

Here's an article in Latvian news site about it - https://nra.lv/neatkariga/intervijas/481931-mencu-zveja-balt...

Probably yes, with From and Into traits.

"This is the famous UI = f(state) mental model of React". Famously incorrect generalization. Why? For example, the useRef hook enables components to hold their own state. React components are not guaranteed to be pure functions. Of course, it can depend on how one writes their code, but it's not a guaranteed that UI = f(state) in React in general.

It's a mental model, not how it works. Your computer isn't actually executing C code, but it's helpful to think that it does.

If you write React code that strays from that model, you better know what you're doing. When I have to reach for `useRef`, I know that I'm in dangerous water.

This is needlessly pedantic. useRef/useEffect are tools to implement the model on top of an imperative reality. Things like canvas rendering APIs don't have a pure interface, but it's still obviously very useful to provide one (hence libraries like react-konva and react-three-fiber).

"All mental models are incorrect; some mental models are useful"

Sorry to tell you, but Bruce Willis has dementia.

And dementia has Chuck Norris.

Bruce Willis' AI likeness. Or however we are going to start referring to AI manifestations of dead actors. AI-zombie? AI-reincarnation? AI-ghost-of-so-and-so?
