  • racket

    The Racket repository

    • Lisp is not a programming language, but a family of languages ​​with many dialects. The most famous dialects include Common Lisp, Clojure, Scheme and Racket. So after deciding that I was going to learn Lisp, I had to choose one of its dialects.

    “Learn You a Haskell for Great Good!” by Miran Lipovača

    • Elm is a statically typed language inspired by Haskell. The natural step would be to use Elm on the frontend and Haskell on the backend. And that's what I tried to do. I read with some difficulty the Learn You a Haskell for Great Good! book (available for free here) and learned a lot of cool stuff. But creating a complete backend using Haskell proved to be more than I could chew. So I decided to look for alternatives...

    How to create modular Elm code that scales nicely with your app

    • After going through the whole Introductory Guide to the Elm Language and reading the Elm in Action book, I already felt quite comfortable developing webapps in this paradigm. I liked Elm so much that I started a project to teach programming to beginners using this language and made the first classes available on the website elm.dev.br (in Brazilian Portuguese).

  • Elm

    Compiler for Elm, a functional language for reliable webapps.

    • In parallel I decided to learn a functional-first programming language instead of trying to partially apply the functional paradigm in an object-oriented language. After doing a lot of research, I chose to learn Elm. The fact that it is a pure and immutable functional language caught my attention. Also, it is focused on webapps development and, until then, I hadn't found any solution for developing web pages that I liked.

    • Lisp is not a programming language, but a family of languages ​​with many dialects. The most famous dialects include Common Lisp, Clojure, Scheme and Racket. So after deciding that I was going to learn Lisp, I had to choose one of its dialects.
