Standard DOM apis and TS bridge helper

Currently if you want to use a library that is JS only, you would need to create the ffi bindings for it. A DOM ffi for the standard browser apis (document, window, etc) would be awesome.

It would be really cool if some tool existed that make conversion from TS definitions to Gleam ffi bridges, and ease the bridging part.

• https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-DOM-lib-generator

Maybe something like https://github.com/purescript-web can be used too 💯

I find Gleam to be a nicer alternative to Typescript. I would love to be used in Phoenix Hooks instead of typescript.

I made a simple example and my only concern is the amount of FFI bridges that are needed.
If something was available to automate this process would be much appreciated.

Add a function for reference equality

I would like to check if two references for equal. (I'm currently trying to write gleam code as close to this as possible)
My suggestion is a function called ref_equal

Add documentation comments
