Being human in the Elm community
summary
Claims that Elm deliberately designs for humans: compiler messages like the triple equals error point to fixes and docs, packages require per-function documentation and use semantic versioning, and authors willingly publish breaking releases to iterate APIs. Concrete packages include line-charts (Edward Tufte ideas) and Accessible HTML (Tessa Kelly) that uses the type system to disallow bad patterns like click-on-div. Community channels (Slack, Stack) answer beginner questions respectfully, and a published regional train live-data app demonstrably saves commuters time during a snowstorm.
