Elm vs React Storybook: What are the differences?

What is Elm? A type inferred, functional reactive language that compiles to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Writing HTML apps is super easy with elm-lang/html. Not only does it render extremely fast, it also quietly guides you towards well-architected code.

What is React Storybook? Develop and design React components without an app. You just load your UI components into the React Storybook and start developing them. This functionality allows you to develop UI components rapidly without worrying about the app. It will improve your team’s collaboration and feedback loop.

Elm and React Storybook are primarily classified as "Languages" and "MVC" tools respectively.

Elm and React Storybook are both open source tools. React Storybook with 38.9K GitHub stars and 3.19K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Elm with 5.26K GitHub stars and 421 GitHub forks.

Huddle, Quizlet, and AppsFlyer are some of the popular companies that use React Storybook, whereas Elm is used by NoRedInk, Brilliant, and RolePoint. React Storybook has a broader approval, being mentioned in 43 company stacks & 22 developers stacks; compared to Elm, which is listed in 27 company stacks and 34 developer stacks.

No Runtime Exceptions; Fearless refactoring; Understand anyone's code; Fast and friendly feedback; Enforced Semantic Versioning; Small Assets	Isolated environment for your components (with the use of various iframe tactics);Hot module reloading (even for functional stateless components);Works with any app (whether it's Redux, Relay or Meteor);Support for CSS (whether it's plain old CSS, CSS modules or something fancy);Clean and fast user interface;Runs inside your project (so, it uses your app's NPM modules and babel configurations out of the box);Serves static files (if you host static files inside your app);Deploy the whole storybook as a static app;Extendable as necessary (support for custom webpack loaders and plugins)

What are some alternatives to Elm, React Storybook?

Meteor

A Meteor application is a mix of JavaScript that runs inside a client web browser, JavaScript that runs on the Meteor server inside a Node.js container, and all the supporting HTML fragments, CSS rules, and static assets.

Bower

Bower is a package manager for the web. It offers a generic, unopinionated solution to the problem of front-end package management, while exposing the package dependency model via an API that can be consumed by a more opinionated build stack. There are no system wide dependencies, no dependencies are shared between different apps, and the dependency tree is flat.

Julia

Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing, with syntax that is familiar to users of other technical computing environments. It provides a sophisticated compiler, distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive mathematical function library.

Racket

It is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language based on the Scheme dialect of Lisp. It is designed to be a platform for programming language design and implementation. It is also used for scripting, computer science education, and research.

PureScript

A small strongly typed programming language with expressive types that compiles to JavaScript, written in and inspired by Haskell.

PrimeNg

It has a rich collection of components that would satisfy most of the UI requirements of your application like datatable, dropdown, multiselect, notification messages, accordion, breadcrumbs and other input components. So there would be no need of adding different libraries for different UI requirements.

Structor

Structor is a visual development environment for node.js Web applications with React UI. The essential part of the builder is a project boilerplate. The boilerplate is a prepacked source code of node.js application in which metainfo included.

Composer

It is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you.

pnpm

It uses hard links and symlinks to save one version of a module only ever once on a disk. When using npm or Yarn for example, if you have 100 projects using the same version of lodash, you will have 100 copies of lodash on disk. With pnpm, lodash will be saved in a single place on the disk and a hard link will put it into the node_modules where it should be installed.

Bun

Develop, test, run, and bundle JavaScript & TypeScript projects—all with Bun. Bun is an all-in-one JavaScript runtime & toolkit designed for speed, complete with a bundler, test runner, and Node.js-compatible package manager.
