π£οΈ Sophie Collard : Lessons learnt from writing 10k LOC in Elm
Elm is a strongly typed, purely functional DSL described by its creator as a "delightful language for reliable web applications".
A couple years back, frustrated with my limited but already painful experiences with React and Vue, I did what any sane developer would. After spending all of 20 minutes playing with in-browser tutorials, I opted to make Elm the main language for my next project.
In this talk, I will reflect on my experience building and growing a 10k LOC Elm codebase. Most importantly, I hope to convince you that Elm is awesome and that frontend development needs not be the lawless, weakly typed wasteland it first appears to be.
