++ Kolibri's typesafe standard library contains the functional and immutable: + Pair, Tuple, Maybe, Either, Choice, Sequence, JINQ, and JSON monad + along with many church-encoded lambda abstractions. +
++ For interactive user interfaces we have: + Observable, ObservableList, DataFlowVariable, Scheduler, Attribute, and the ModelWorld. +
++ Additional utilities care for: array extensions, + DOM handling, test facility (incl. async testing), logging, and REST calls. +
++ Classic MVC and the Projector Pattern lead us + from simple to more-and-more advanced web clients as shown in the + examples. The UI becomes rich, reliable, + consistent and efficient to build and maintain. +
++ Kolibri also puts forward best practices on how to organize code, + organize types, organize styles, develop to interfaces, + layout code, use JavaScript features wisely, ubiquitous testing, and helpful JsDoc. +
