Also, brilliant.org and exosphere.app, both with large and active Elm code bases. I worked for brilliant for a time and now work for exosphere. Also, my own project, https://script…

I've been using lamdera regularly for a over a year. Having a full-stack, one-language solution makes development so much more pleasant and efficient. https://minilatex.lamdera.app…

My own two cents worth on Elm. I've worked with many languages, beginning with Fortran in my student days that I had to punch my own cards, then doing Basic, Pascal, C, C++, Python…

I wrote a library that parses a subset of LaTeX and renders it as HTML. See https://demo.minilatex.app/ or more at https://minilatex.io I was astonished by what is possible to do w…

Yes, something like that. Almost everyone who writes Elm code uses elm-format which is very "spacey". So foo = 1 is formatted with foo = on one line and 1 on the next, with some le…

One more point. Writing something like the MiniLatex parser would be somewhere between impossible altogether and nightmarish without an expressive type system. Below is the definit…

Just wanted to say what a joy it has been to work with the 0.19 compiler. For the project at https://knode.io , it was a game-changer: the elm/parser library is so fast that it mak…

At present, Elm compiles to javascript. But when the time is right, it will have other compilation targets as well, e.g Webaassmebly

Also: much faster compilation times and a parser combinator library (elm/parse) that for me is a game-changer. It makes live-rendering of LaTeX to HTML a reality. See https://mediu…

I've been working on a project, now at http://www.knode.io for quite some time. It went from Rails to an Elixir back end with an Angular 1 frontend, then a brief experiment with an…

Yes, move faster, then pay the price later when stuff is broken and hard to fix.

Here is an example: $$ \newcommand{\bra}{\left } $$ $$ \bra a | b \ket $$ If you go to https://jxxcarlson.github.io/app/minilatex/src/index.html , press the "Clear" button, then pa…

Hi, I am the developer of MiniLatex. Overleaf looks like a fantastic tool.

Oops! My bad. Thanks!!

I'm looking into KaTeX to see if it will work with my setup (Elm) & give better results. Thanks!

Thanks very much for the correction!
