The problem is that concur-static generates static JS code that encodes all possible UI state transitions - so if the state space is big or infinite, so will be the resulting generated JS.
I wanted to explore the viability of generating simple static UIs with some level of dynamism. concur-static is definitely not intended as a replacement for full-blown client side UI libraries/frameworks.
I understand that, but it's not like this doesn't already choke on big input spaces. Why not allow me to use a big input space with a small state space by exploring the state space instead? Otherwise you just seem to be exploiting the fact that small input spaces make for small state spaces, which seems like an unnecessary indirection.
Or is it to try to enforce small state spaces to prevent programmer error?
That seems like a good idea indeed, however I'm not sure how it'd look in practice. The transition from input space to state space happens in the event handlers, which currently look like this:
onClick :: Bounded a => Enum a => a -> VDOM a
onClick :: Bounded a => Enum a => a -> VDOM b
