A few days ago I started to learn Elm with the goal to create a new front end for lemmy.

At the same time I want to create tui applications, which are really modern.

So someone recommended Crate tui, which is a Rust library.

Should I keep learning Elm or should I switch to Rust or should I even learn both, even if it takes a lot of time and energy?

    These are both pretty massive, and separate projects. For a TUI, I would definitely recommend rust, but for a web front end, I’d probably do it in typescript, as none of the rust frameworks for building web apps are coming in very fast in benchmarks (that includes yew).

      hmm… ok, it looks like I will learn Elm and Rust separately. Starting with Elm, trying to do some front end.
