I never use it in examples, but mainly because of feedback that I get. When I use them, beginners tell me they can't figure out what's going on. When I don't use them, no one tells me things! :) So for a beginner text, I thin

It seems the internet shares this opinion. My feeling was that `px` was a general solution, but I may have misunderstood the true meaning of em. I'd imagined code such as: em = 16 title = Text.height (2*em) (toText "Titl

I'm going to focus on creating more CRUD examples now that 0.9 is out. In the same way that JavaScript needs frameworks to have a nice high-level way to create CRUD, Elm needs libraries and frameworks too. I have been focusing on langu

Small revision, the second code line should be: f a b <| g x y Just like F# :)

A generalization. Arrowized FRP (as introduced in Yampa) can be entirely embedded in Elm. The Automaton library is the beginnings of such an embedding: http://elm-lang.org/docs/Automaton.elm To be more concrete, in Elm you can work direct

1) Brand new language inspired by Haskell's syntax, but it is really much closer to ML (strict evaluation, no type classes). More info: http://www.testblogpleaseignore.com/2012/06/21/why-elm/ 2) That is totally true! The idea is quite gen

It serves Elm files directly. You just start it up, and can use F5 to recompile files from the browser. PS. Thank you! :D I actually like web programming these days because of it :)

I think so, but I am biased (lead dev and designer :P) The entire site is written in Elm (excluding the code editor which relies on CodeMirror). If you click the "View Page Source" in the top right corner of every page, you can see the full

While this massive bit of speculation is exciting, this is not the case. It is a compiler error indicating that the poster somehow compiled an Elm file without any content in it. I suspect my servers are having a bad time right now, so the

Can you specify which link you visited? Or what platform you are on?

Elm is a functional reactive language for web programming. To learn the basics, please check out the recently updated interactive examples ( http://elm-lang.org/Examples.elm ) and documentation ( http://elm-lang.org/Documentation.elm ). Thi

I couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks for backing me up :)

What was your project called? I remember reading a paper on an ML implementation of FRP (Reactive ML?); I'm curious if that was you. Also, yes, on my website. I'm working with Stephen Chong. This isn't his primary research focus, but he is

Thank you :) - It isn't open source right now. I think that's best while the language is still developing, but I plan on opening it up once things have settled down. I don't want to have legacy code before I've even started :P - No, that as

That's a much tougher question. I am still early in the process, so I don't have a clean and clear answer yet. I am trying to approach FRP from the perspective of GUI design. In this context continuous Behaviors and discrete Events are not

Thank you! Dictionaries and Sets are high on the ever growing list of extremely important libraries :) Also, it compiles to HTML, CSS, and JS. Not just JS!

For those of you not familiar with FRP, it's a really great read! Hudak and Elliott really present their ideas clearly and elegantly.

This is an important issue! I'm aware of the problem and have some ideas of how to avoid it. My compiler is not actually doing any optimization at this stage, so this will be addressed when I give this more attention.

Flapjax still has you deal with the abstractions provided by HTML and CSS. I generally think these abstractions are pretty problematic, but more subtly, this means you must think imperatively (e.g. modifying the DOM) which doesn't really fi

Thank you! And yes, that has been a really good way to test the language out. I don't want to add it to the examples because I use some internal-only functions to make it work nicely. It's also not terribly instructive. You can see it at (

Thank you :) No download yet though. With thesis deadlines, it will be ready in spring at the earliest.

This is my project. I agree that the type of link is a little weird. This was added pretty early on in the project and I haven't circled back around to rethink it. I'll try to address your questions: - Why is text necessary? Elements are al

Hey, this is my project! :) I am surprised it got posted here, but I am also glad to see people are interested. One note on the title of this post: Elm compiles to HTML, CSS, and JS. Not just JS! I think this actually an extremely important
