About Elm

module HelloWorld exposing (helloWorld)


helloWorld : Maybe String -> String
helloWorld name =
    case name of
        Just name_ ->
            "Hello, " ++ name_ ++ "!"

        Nothing ->
            "Hello, World!"

Elm is a pure, functional language that compiles to javascript.

It was designed by Evan Czaplicki as part of writing his thesis on Concurrent FRP for Functional GUIs and evolved into a language to help make making user interfaces better.

Elm's goal is to be the simplest and best language for making web-based user interfaces.

Elm aims to completely eliminate runtime exceptions by combining an aggressively helpful compiler with solid architectural principles.

You can learn more about Elm at the official website.

Exercism is a great website

Exercism is a great website where I was able to have some very interesting challenges.

I am drawn to Elm because it is a safe, reliable, and refactorable alternative to building webapps. It's an approachable language that not only supports the dynamic nature of greenfield projects, but it can also be adopted in small steps within legacy apps implemented in other front-end solutions.

I love everything about Elm. My days are spent programming in Elm as a professional, my weekends are spent working on open source Elm projects and packages. I'm a member of the Elm core team and you can always find me on the Elm-lang Slack!

I like Elm for its friendliness: I'm more confident in my Elm code than I am in code in any other language, and I never feel pressured to use things I don't understand.

Elm is a great language for folks to learn functional programming. Elm was the first functional programming language I've learned, and is great for teaching fundamental concepts and paradigms used when creating single-page web applications!

If it compiles, it will work forever. I've never written applications with fewer runtime errors than I have in Elm. Don't let the learning curve disuade you, once you're proficient in Elm you won't look back.
