Concept: Web-Development

The convergence of Partas.Solid (web site) and D3.js represents a strategic opportunity to establish a new paradigm for data visualization in functional web development. This proposal outlines a principled architectural approach that would leverage the synergies between Solid.JS’s fine-grained reactivity and D3’s functional computation model. 🔑 D3.js has long been misunderstood as a “DOM manipulation library.” In reality, its most powerful modules (d3-scale, d3-shape, d3-array, d3-interpolate) are pure functional computation engines that have no dependency on the DOM whatsoever.

The SPEC stack represents our vision for a unified approach to principled web development, centering on syntactic uniformity, compile-time transformation, and edge-native deployment. By bringing together SolidJS, Partas.Solid’s broad bindings, Elmish, and CloudflareFS, SPEC creates a development paradigm where traditional boundaries between frontend and backend, static and dynamic, web and desktop applications become fluid implementation choices within a cohesive architectural framework. This document outlines our architectural vision and design philosophy for the SPEC stack.
