Functional Programming for the Web with Elm

on YouTube ↗01h 28m

" summary

Elm compiles to JavaScript with a statically typed, Haskell‑inspired system that reduces runtime exceptions and shows competitive render times versus Angular/React in benchmarks. Examples use Elm Reactor, webpack and a Jupyter kernel; HTTP requests, JSON decoders, ports for JavaScript interop (Asciidoc rendering), and flags for startup config. The ACCU schedule app is built in Elm, open‑source and running successfully at the conference; migration between 0.16→0.18 caused breaking changes.
