As someone who is just getting started with frontend development, I decided to go with Elm instead of learning JS and React. I found the whole experience very pleasant, even as a beginner.
Not only is the elm code I write reliable, but I've found that adding more features does not bloat my code. Refactoring a codebase as it grows in elm is pleasant, and following the Elm Architecture guides me on the correct structure for the app.
Over the weekend I made a small site to show all Elm conference videos in one place.
If you want to play around with 0.17 this project is just a bit above a "Hello World" example. Send a PR!

- k__ 10y agoNice to read. Last time I tried Elm, (1 or 1 1/2 years ago) tutorials and docs were kinda outdated. Got errors in this REPL thing they got for beginners on the webpage and nothing from the examples worked :\
- mjs2600 10y agoI came back to it recently after a year and a half long break and it has improved dramatically. It's starting to feel like something I'd be comfortable using in production.
- skybrian 10y agoIt is still pre-1.0 and the most recent release changed a lot, so I'd guess there is still opportunity for breakage in the future. But it's hopefully closer now.
- embwbam 10y agoBold move, but a good one, I think. I've been considering starting my students (just friends I mentor) on Elm for a while, but it's only this year I've heard of local companies hiring for Elm here in Salt Lake City.
- marknadal 10y agoI recently moved out to SLC area, shoot me an email aquiva at Google's mail.
- vijayr 10y agoWhat resources are you using to learn Elm?
