Application of Normalized Systems Theory to pure functional code to achieve sustainability of web front-end applications

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Modern web front-end applications frequently encounter challenges in maintaining long-term stability as they evolve to accommodate new requirements. This growing complexity often leads to diminishing maintainability and, in some cases, costly rewrites. To address this issue, we propose a methodology that integrates Normalized Systems Theory (NST)–which provides the structural foundations for stable software—with functional programming (FP) principles to construct inherently evolvable front-end systems. Our approach is implemented and evaluated using Elm, a statically typed, purely functional language designed for web front-end development. By aligning Elm’s design patterns with NST theorems, we establish a framework for building systems that are modular, maintainable, and resilient to change. We validate the efficacy of this methodology through a case study of a production-grade Elm application, demonstrating notable improvements in evolvability and system sustainability. While our implementation focuses on Elm, the underlying principles extend to other functional technologies, offering a broadly applicable strategy for achieving long-term stability in web front-end architecture.
