Hey. I'm planning on developing a free web game as a hobby project. The game will have quite a lot of calculations as it will rely heavily on fractal generation, pseudo variants and other forms of generation on the fly. But without going to much in details (as I'm still in the early prototyping phases) I would like to know what these days the best functional language for the web is?<p>I only ever do web development for hobby projects, as I'm a developer for personal computers and embedded systems in my professional time. I like to develop in Functional Languages as It fits best with how I think and come up with solutions for my problems. Besides one web project that I developed with Clojurescript I don't have much experience with functional languages for the web though. Which brings me to the question...<p>What functional languages do you recommend for the web? Clojurescript, Elixir, Erlang, or another one? Key elements I look for is completeness of libraries available and performance.<p>Thank you upfront.
The main problem that i had with Clojurescript was that it seemed to be quite intensive even for the simple puzzle game that I made.
Note that it may be because I hacked the program in one night and probably raped the language horrible. Which is why I'm still open for Clojurescript suggestions by people who have good experiences using it.
