Same story here. My wife did some online course at EPFL for java programming, then she did the front end developer nanodegree from udacity.
Now she is writing elm with me. I'm doing my best to keep her away from all the js "drama" (setting up webpack, dealing with npm...) and only into programming to avoid her being overwhelmed. And all this build stack/devops... part can be really frustrating.
Also, functional programming is somehow much easier to grasp when you start with it.
- z5h 9y agoI'm interested in teaching non-programmers to program via Elm. I think the baggage that comes from imperative programming is a deterrent to pure fp. But if you start with pure fp, it's all pretty clear.
