It'd be more fun if I could do it in something that wasn't in Javascript or one of its Frankenstein cousins.

You can!

Elm is interesting, though it's developer is a bit polarizing

Also there are a host of nascent Rust/WASM frameworks starting to pop up. They really like the tree puns. There is Yew, Sycamore and Seed.

    That's still all web tech, though. Druid and Iced look more interesting, as they are general UI frameworks which lets you build both web and desktop apps without dealing with HTML or CSS.

I do React for my day job. For personal projects and MVPs, I came back to Rails and it has been insanely fun. I can drop in whatever frontend framework I want or none at all.

    With Sveltekit, you can actually build your back end with it as well. The path based routing is so nice and intuitive (compared to my recollection of Rails 3.x), and if you compile your SvelteKit application with the node adapter, it will include a back-end server too.

    The only catch of course, is that you have to like both Svelte and NodeJS.

Is there any reason why something like Svelte couldn't be written in one of the lisply languages? The compiler approach seems definitely like a good fit.
