I hope Elm doesn't get too closely tied with Elixir. It's a great language no matter what backend you choose.

- brightball 10y agoMost people seem to be coupling the two together based on getting into functional programming. It also doesn't hurt that the Daily Drip, a great Elixir "Railscasts" clone also has a section for Elm.
- sotojuan 10y agoI also don't get why they're coupled a lot... they're very different once you get past that they're both "functional" (and Elixir really just has HOFs and immutability by default, it's very practical). If it makes you feel better, I only see this coupling online. Most people just use server-rendered pages or regular JavaScript.
- s_kilk 10y agoIt's really just a weird overlap in the communities. There's nothing tying Elm and Elixir together aside from the anomaly where many people who started experimenting with one also started experimenting with the other.
- qaq 10y agoI see a lot of interest in Elm in Elixir community but if you take actual production projects written in Elixir very few use Elm on FE.
