Introduce the Elm Architecture to MoonBit

a year ago

Elm is a purely functional programming language for front-end web applications, emphasizing simplicity, performance, and robustness.
MoonBit is introduced as a functional programming language with features like pattern matching and immutability, addressing JavaScript's limitations.
Rabbit-TEA is a front-end framework inspired by Elm's architecture, consisting of Model, View, and Update components.
The Elm Architecture enforces a unidirectional data flow, making state management predictable and straightforward.
MoonBit's pattern matching and expression-oriented nature ensure efficient JavaScript code generation.
Rabbit-TEA uses an HTML EDSL for declarative views, leveraging MoonBit's labeled argument syntax.
Messages and pattern matching in Rabbit-TEA enhance safety and flexibility in handling user interactions.
Side effects are managed using the Cmd type, ensuring consistent program state.
Rabbit-TEA allows interaction with JavaScript through custom Cmds and inline JavaScript code.
The framework's lightweight runtime benefits from MoonBit's global DCE optimization, resulting in compact code.
Future plans for Rabbit-TEA include native backend support, server-side rendering, and time-travel debugging.
