#12Congrats! I hope one day to work for NoRedInk. Elm is a big reason why.
Re: New Adventures for Elm
#13What's the best programming environment for Elm? I know there's a Light Table plugin for Elm, which I think is promising (in some ways they seem like a natural fit, whilst they started separately the direction of both was inspired at least in part by Bret Victor's ideas), but I wonder what other tools are being used to code Elm.

Sublime Text with Elm language support[1] does auto compilation and is plenty enough. It also comes with an extension to SublimeREPL[2]

ple-ase. Not everyone spends its time buzzing. The amount of people using Elm right now is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of people using OCaml (and F#, in more recent years). Elm is a fun new language, it has cool features and its take on FRP is interesting, but I would really like its author to stop speaking like he invented fire. I would take js_of_ocaml + FRP over Elm any time, just for the size of t…
> ... and the overall expressiveness of the language. We're looking at the same Elm, right?
Yes we are. You have to look at what you are competing against. OCaml has a much better module system (and a richer type system altogether). Purescript/Haskell got typeclasses and HKT, among lots of things.
As I said, Elm is cute and interesting, but it's type system is less expressive than other languages and lacks features that I consider essential.
Sure, it's better than javascript, but why not opt for the other thing that is even better, given that it also provides Elm's FRP goodness.

Remote US only or remote EU also?
We currently have remote developers from the UK, Germany, and São Paulo. (We do wantjunior hires to be in the office, though, to facilitate mentoring.)
We do a solid amount of pair programming, but remote pairing via ScreenHero is pretty sweet. :)
