1. iElm by @shamansir Dec 2017 ≜
2. When I find myself in trouble,
 Converting String value to a Double
 Or making an async request
 — Indeed a fortress to conquest!
3. I wonder, if I made the right choice by using JavaScript at all— Is there any hope to rejoice, Without giving up and fall?
4. And then I’m happy to discover That things are going well today, Frontend is making a recover And favors functionaλ way!
5. Evan Czaplicki, a guy from Prezi (or is he moved to NoRedInk?) Seems he kept well from being lazy And making language not so hazy, Fighting for syntax — not so crazy, And brought us one new cool thing…
6. So he presents us the first versions, With launching Mario into Space, [Which by itself is act of mercy] We seem to have no huge objections, [No really solid controversy], And we are ready to embrace…
7. …the new language, which he called Elm, Which states us: “No more overwhelm!”, Which almost lacks of parentheses, (OK, it’s still debatable thesis)
8. But… With the time… The framework changes…
9. We see no focus on the graphics… …anymore
10. And Mario is, what?.. forgotten? Is this guy now, say… dead and rotten?
11. The Collage package moved from core! What happens now with all the aesthetics?! Should we just calm and just ignore? Or should we buy more anaesthetics? (if they provide them in drugstores) (thanks to the latest laws in pharmacogenetics)
12. No more inversed kinematics? (Wait… are we watching any horror?) No simulated electromagnetics? And then you wonder why I go peripatetics?.. .
13. I may continue with this list of loss.
14. But actually it’s not that gross*. *gross — means “disgusting” in German
15. We just need any live debugger, Providing real-time controls, To give away with all the struggle, Which keeps us from using the Force.
16. Considering the language by itself is perfect
17. I mean it’s really a well-known fact!
18. We need a REPL being trustful, We need it not to spit the types, Like they’re some kind of fast-food, We need a depth! Enough of lies!
19. And now I have a thing to show you, Please welcome what I had just made, New kind of REPL with a pursue, (‘Hope I don’t need to persuade)…
20. It makes it easy to do graphics.
21. It makes it easy to debug.
22. It’s almost similar to iPython. (and in this case I’m out of luck)
23. Please don’t consider me a priest…
24. By ending with expected twist, I’m sorry, but I had to say this:
25. I Elm, and so do I exist!
26. > npm install -g ielm
27. Thank you! Presented at Elm Meeting #1 Munich, 2017.
