Keynote
summary
Company runs ~250,000 lines of Elm with 26 engineers and sees effectively no runtime exceptions in production; Elm 0.19 adds offline package installs, much faster compiles and function-level dead code elimination. A real-world example app (10 routes, 33 modules, ~4,000 LOC) builds from scratch in ~0.6s and produces a ~29 KB bundle when optimized. Trade-offs remain: a smaller package ecosystem, some Web API interop, and learning a new language.
