And, tbh, not a bad one. It’s got a lot of subtle edge cases, often pointed out in threads like this, it involves managing a slightly non-trivial amount of information, and there’s a very solid reference implementation.
I wrote my own version of 2048 when that was super popular several years ago, and I still play it today when I want to waste some time. Sometimes those projects end up being pretty fulfilling.
I think they represent the both extremes of type safety. I use Elm at work because we care about type safety and correctness. And I would use HyperScript for fast prototyping or small projects. I didn’t know it and I liked, but I would prefer it to have a syntax similar to js instead of human language.
Implementing Wordle is the new to-do app, isn’t it?

I strongly agree. Mine was a happy observation. For some reason, this was the post that made me think “oh. It’s a thing, now.”
It feels like a time shed unnecessary cynicism, and it’s fun to see pleasant stories like Wordle’s. Happy observations a nice to collect.

I somehow missed the whole 2048 trend. That looks fun.
Wordle also strikes me as a very solid choice for this kind of thing.
