Elm as an antidote to front-end fatigue

on YouTube ↗16m

" summary

Claim: Elm replaces a big JavaScript toolchain with a small compiled stack so setup drops from nine tools to three or four; the slides are written in main.Elm, compiled to index.html via Elm’s virtual DOM, and the demo actually runs. Elm’s strict types and enforced checking lead to no runtime errors and make impossible states unrepresentable, enabling fewer and simpler tests because every function is pure and easy to unit test.
