Adventures in Elm: Events, Reproducibility, and Kindness
summary
Elm compiles to JavaScript, enforces immutability and strong types, and ships a concrete event-loop Elm Architecture where a single update function + model produce HTML; the demo app uses mouse position signals, an explicit model/update/view loop, and a custom in-app debugger and ports for JS interop (eight lines of JS for focus/save). The compiler gives friendly errors, the package manager enforces semantic versioning, produced ~500KB output, and tooling and libraries remain noticeably immature.
