Upon reading the post, I realized how click-baity the title really is.<p>There’s only a brief statement about Elm, in the beginning, describing why the author has quit using Elm, and then:<p>> In this post, I'll just highlight some of the most important things I've learned since the beginning of 2016 by using PureScript.<p>Quitting Elm has little relevance to what the author has learned about PureScript.<p>I guess the title could’ve just simply been <i>What I learned in PureScript</i>
Anyone getting deeper and deeper into fp is destined to end up with Haskell or purescript. No matter if you start with elm, scala, elixir or reason. Then, of course you work with Haskell for a bit and end up going back to whatever you started with unless your work in PL research or similar
Qiita is a really interesting Japanese alternative to StackOverflow. It's rare someone writes something in English, but fun to practice your Japanese and technical Japanese is often cleaner and easier to understand than written or heaven forbid spoken colloquial Japanese.
I feel like I went through all of the same frustrations as the OP starting from Elm. It's a fun language, but the restrictions the bdfl puts in place make you quickly outgrow it.
I'm using elm so I don't have to learn any of these things. I enjoy knowing almost all parts of the language.
Also, in 95% of the cases, it provides enough flexibility to solve the task at hand.
Man I need to do a sudo apt upgrade on my brain: I read the title and thought he was talking about ELM the email client, and was like: yeah, we all stopped using that in the early 90's when zmail showed up.
OT: I’ve never seen this before, but for some reason when reading this on my phone the line breaks are... anywhere. In the middle of words in places that make no sense.<p>“... spare time trying o<p>ut Elm, to render...”<p>It’s basically unreadable without Safari’s reader mode.
