Utilizing Elm in a Web Worker
6 projects | dev.to | 17 Feb 2022

What's going on here? First, we import Platform, which provides us with the function Platform.worker. Most of the time, when writing an Elm app, we're leaning on elm/Browser to create apps that bind to the DOM. But in this case, we don't have a DOM to bind to, so we utilize Platform to create a basic app that doesn't do that. worker takes three inputs: init, update, and subscriptions (it's basically the same as Browser.element, from our Main.elm example).
Great thanks to the rust community for having a book (sort of like the rust book) for some crates as well. Makes everything infinitely approachable

A couple of problems that I faced recently were this one concerning long lists in debug mode (https://github.com/elm/browser/issues/90) and an IP address parsing oddity (https://github.com/elm/parser/issues/14#issuecomment-560092383).

I'm disappointed that my own IntercalScript didn't make the list.
Does the number of keywords really matter?

If someone thinks that having only 14 reserved keywords is important, you should show them IntercalScript.

Intercalscript. I'm only partially joking. It actually has some pretty amazing features and it compiles to JS.
What are some simple but powerful compile-to-JS languages I might not know about, or that you are working on (not Elm, Reason, PureScript, or ClojureScript)?

Seeing all these generics groupies huddling in this thread is quite hilarious to me. It takes me about 3 hours to write a generator that can spit out 3000 lines of code implementing 60 api calls.

Oh my God, and I thought this question from the IntercalScript FAQ was an original joke.
