" summary

Elm is a functional language that compiles to JavaScript, promises no runtime exceptions and gives clear compiler errors; the talk live-codes a mini-game built with Elm’s Model/View/Update pattern, immutable state and a Redux-like one-way data flow, uses Elm’s commands and ports to generate randomness and talk to JavaScript, shows semantic versioning and package tooling, demonstrates easy unit and HTML testing and the built-in ability to inspect past states via time-travel debugging, and the demo works.
