Anything port talks to is NOT Elm. Any custom element is also NOT elm. I really like some smart people in Elm community, they are kind. But I think they are like 3% of all. The real problem is development process and communication.
Agreed. It's a non-open-access open source project.
You may find it distracts from whatever technical point you were trying to make.
It's absolutely hilarious how Elm of all things was the #1 enemy of HN the last couple days. A language just about nobody uses (except me).
Yet suddenly everyone is just three degrees away from someone else who was irreparably wronged by Elm's creator. People coming out of the woodwork to show that they, too, are offended by such reprehensible behavior like removing a couple features from a programming language.
Web developers are literally the most oppressed people on the planet. This Evan guy messed with the wrong motherfuckers!
It's a great language. The community has been nothing but stellar to me - a complete novice at not just FP, but also JS and web in general.
The entitlement is unreal. "How DARE you create this great free thing, and have the AUDACITY to make it work the way you want it to?!"
Someone’s always going to get bent out of shape (<— I expect I’m creating a demonstration of that right here) with language usage, but please don’t write like a computer when talking with humans so as to avoid these sorts of remarks.
It’s kind of like interrupting someone when they are trying to make a point that is important to them by saying, “hey, you’re having a bad hair day” and then acting like this shouldn’t impact the confidence they have in their point.
In that case, why not use typescript for everything? Being pure is nice and all but it's not a goal in itself, especially if the language is extremely limited as a result.
