Book Description
Web development with JavaScript usually involves dealing with performance and maintenance issues. JavaScript fatigue makes it difficult for many developers to keep up with the increasing complexity posed by the multitude of JavaScript frameworks with changing versions, the need to use different tools such as task runners, module bundlers, compilers, testing suites, linting and debuggers. Elm is an easy to learn, functional programming language that simplifies web development by eliminating complexity associated with using JavaScript for web development. Elm is a statically typed language and thus makes a front end web developer's life easier by preventing any run-time errors.
