Functional and statically typed programming language for frontend development elm
Web and UI Focused
Compiles to JavaScript
No runtime exceptions in practice.
The 2nd argument to function `add` is causing a mismatch.
7| add 2 "3" ^^^ Function `add` is expecting the 2nd argument to be: Int But it is: String Compile time static type checks
Functional
Pure Data in Data out
Pure No side effects
Pure Predictable and Testable!
Immutable Data • Safety and consistency • Explicit flow of
data • No subtle mutation bugs
No undefined is not a function
Fast
One framework. No fatigue. Update View Model Messages
✓ Easier to write code ✓ Easier to write tests
✓ Easier to refactor
Content • Functions and expressions • Static applications • Dynamic
applications with the Elm Architecture • Working with Lists • Static Types and Type Aliases • Input Events and Union Types
Format • Demos via ellie-app.com • Exercises via ellie-app.com •
