I'm not seeing it in the docs, maybe I should write up a little something on my editing experience! Also to correct my self, I think I mistakenly said `modal` when I should have sa…

It does, though I found learning and setting it up to be more complicated. My preferred editor is one that's very simple to setup and use (e.g. Sublime, VSCode, Zed, nano). Emacs i…

When I specified the modal editing I was referring to how the workspace search in Zed brings up each result in an editable "window" allowing me to make edits across my whole projec…

For me the "killer feature" is a graphical editor (like VSCode or the Jet Brains editors) but with performance more like vim. I'm also very much enjoying the modal editing, which V…

There are Forth like languages, such as Kitten, that have variables and more. https://kittenlang.org/

Elm is like American politics. The most vocal people are divided as strongly as if they'd stabbed each other in the back. The majority people aren't vocal and just go about their d…

Elm has easily saved me hundreds of hours per year in compile time alone, not to mentioned the likely thousands of hours it's saved me in time spent debugging. I still shudder to t…

The guide has a whole section about web components/custom elements https://guide.elm-lang.org/interop/custom_elements.html . I've also found them useful in my code outside of Elm a…

I work on the app mentioned in the podcast. It is roughly 600k lines of Elm. I have previously worked at bigger, more well known companies, on apps 1/3 the size if not smaller. I'v…

There are a handful of people in the Elm Slack that work for companies that fit this description. I've seen everything from education to green energy and more. Might be a good plac…

How would these features replace TypeScript? TypeScript is more than just a syntax as it also requires a compiler, config, IDE tooling, and typically additional plugins to make it …

Everyone keeps saying variations of "It would become possible to program (e.g.) TypeScript without compiling the source code." but that's not true. This proposal is only a subset o…

This reminds me a lot of https://lamdera.com/ , though more React and less Elm. Lamdera has the added benefit that changes are deployed in real time instead of having to reload, in…

I had the opposite experience with my last job interview. I didn't know any Ember but I did know Elm (and other languages and frameworks). My enthusiasm about Elm absolutely contri…

I have coworkers using Rails for the back end of their Elm app. I think NoRedInk is using some Rails and some Haskell. I've have a friend who uses Python for his back ends. Also he…

A little history of why Rust's error messages look and read they way they do: - [1] back in 2015 Elm puts out a blog post titled Compiler Errors for Humans - [2] then another, Comp…

We have a team at Square that uses Elm and I've made a few commits. They've been working on their app for around 18 months now. I find it slightly funny because I also write Svelte…

Firstly, my wife would strongly disagree with you. Your argument implies that women are given the option between many nearly identical pairs of pants, some with large pockets and s…

https://github.com/rtfeldman/elm-spa-example is a good example app. I'd also recommend https://codebase.show/projects/realworld in general if you're looking for example apps in var…

I've seen some people mention using https://tauri.studio/en/ for building desktop apps with Elm, and others using https://www.electronjs.org/ . I've also toyed with https://deno.la…

Did you try out https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/cmditch/elm-bigint/lat... ? I've used that for things that I know exceed the browsers limits with JS numbers. Had to use it re…

Having spent the past year plus in very large (over 1M loc) and old (10+ years) Ember code bases and having used it about 6-7 years ago I can confidently say that Ember has a very …

The javascript example gets further compounded by doing something like `object["prefix" + variable]`. I've seen some very large companies abuse JS object proxies so that code is ne…
