BFPG - Elm Edition

The Elm Experience : Andrew Newman

Elm is said to be that promised land of usability and maintainability between Haskell and JavaScript.

For the last two years, up to 4 of us, have been migrating away from Angular and JavaScript to Elm. From 0 to 50,000 lines of Elm in 2 years.

We will go through our experiences with Elm:

• How it is for beginners, FAQs and problems,
• It compiles, it works!
• Patterns to scale your application,
• Is it good for web development?
• How well does it teach FP?
• Drawbacks and solutions (if any)
• Elm 0.18 -> 0.19
