Are there academic paradigms in web frontend dev in the same way there are FP academic paradigms? (lemy.lol)

I constantly hear about research into functional programming, and even real things coming out of them, like certain programming languages (idris).

Is there anything like this for frontend UI dev? It doesn't have to be FP related.

Have you looked at Elm?

It's very much not JavaScript, but I think that comes with the territory of wanting something significantly different.

For what it's worth, with wasm you could use any language that compiles to it as a frontend language. Rust has a few frameworks that can compile to standalone wasm web pages.

I’m confused why everyone sleeps on Purescript. I mean, it is currently QUITE obscure.. I could be wrong but I feel like Purescript has all of the same goals as Elm but better.

I also sleep on elm, JavaScript and typescript. (i.e. don't use then)

It's simply that I never heard of purescript.
