Putting the fun in functional with Elm

on YouTube ↗15m

" summary

Claims that Elm is a fully functional, statically typed language that compiles to JavaScript and lets the compiler enforce architecture and catch errors earlier, backed by a codebase of 100,000 lines of code and refactorings like touching more than 100 files done calmly because the compiler flags breaks. Notes tradeoffs: no runtime errors is promised, but there is no server side rendering and no easy DOM mutation; ecosystem is smaller than React.
