Anyone use Elm? Thoughts opinions? Is it hipster technology?

Anything but Spring is hipster tech.

I can't find any resources on Elm on google. Google just shows me some random companies.
Someone link me to site

>>59646440
http://elm-lang.org/

Its a functional language that compiles to java script.

>>59646348
Why not Elm and Haskell? They are more closely related.

>>59646348
The compiler is way too fucking slow.

elixir is pretty good and concurrency is awesome, makes it really suitable for http servers

>>59649066
haskell's concurrency story is good too.

Does Haskell have it's own web framework? Erlang was kinda designed around telecommunications so I figure elixir, which is built on top of Erlang, is pretty great also.

I thought Haskell was for mathematicians

>>59649397
yup, haskell has based web frameworks yesod, happstack and snap.

elm in the frontend
elixir in the backend

>language that compiles to javascript

People are still trying that? Why not use coffeescript while you're at it?

Dont trust in a lang with a shit logo and font.

>>59649597
because coffeescript is shit

Nah, I nominate Clojure for dead-simplest web server construction. Literally just stacking libraries to make your own framework ad-hoc.

Ring, HTTP-Kit, Compojure, Cheshire, Korma, slap 'em all together, and it's dead easy for them to exchange info because it's all just vanilla Clojure data structures. I think dynamic typing is a big win here: Arbitrarily nested, irregular data structures. You can basically translate 1:1 with JSON, and 1:1 with most database schemas.

Why does this exist and to what fucking end?
