I didn't mean that only Javascript developers would be lost, more that Elm kind of "does its own thing" and as such some of its errors or mechanics can be a bit cryptic and require some more experience with the language.
It's not a language you can pick up and go as easily as Javascript is more what I meant, in my opinion at least unless, you're already familiar with pure and strictly typed languages.
- yakshaving_jgt 7y agoI don't think Elm does its own thing. The ideas used in Elm are more "discovered" than "invented" (at least relative to JavaScript), if you're familiar with that line of thinking. I also don't think its errors are cryptic. Elm's error messages are best in class. > It's not a language you can pick up and go as easily as Javascript I don't agree with this either. After having taught people Elm, and also JavaScript as a first language, I don't think mutability is more intuitive to a beginner.
