I constantly hear about research into functional programming, and even real things coming out of them, like certain programming languages (idris).
Is there anything like this for frontend UI dev? It doesn’t have to be FP related.

AFAIK, Halogen for Purescript is about as FP as it gets in the front-end world. It’s pretty complicated but Halogen takes advantage of “free monads”. Perhaps you are looking for something even more rigorous since you mentioned Idris but I figured I’d mention that one.
I’m learning it now and it has not been easy. I tried to port a simple vanilla JavaScript dynamic draggable table over to Halogen and it has not been fun at all. I got 80% of the way there then started to have to reach for FFI, unsafeCoerce, or build my own Purescript module to capture mousevents.
