Elm is a functional language that compiles to HTML & JavaScript and is growing in popularity. With it’s ability to be dropped into even the largest JavaScript application, it’s something that I think we’ll see more and more of over the coming years.
What is Elm? • Elm is a functional language that compiles to JavaScript. • Created by Evan Czaplicki in 2012 • Focuses on simplicity, ease-of-use, and quality tooling. • Replaces other frameworks, like React and Angular.
How do I get started? • Is Elm right for me or my project? • The correct path is to first use Elm in a small experiment. If the experiment goes bad, stop it! If it goes great, expand the experiment a bit more.
