    Also the fact that their package manager is strongly coupled against https://package.elm-lang.org/. There is no way to override it. This means that if that package site ever goes down, you will be left with an unbuildable project. Seems pretty risky to me.

    Not to be silly but I was getting ready to do my port & all but clicking on "source" from with package.elm-lang.org takes me to elm-charts, not elm-plot.

    If you're dealing with some kind of currency it's better to use a Decimal type which has few packages on the ecosystem.
  • Why is Elm documentation so poor?

    Anyways, between The Guide, Beginning Elm and the packages documentation, I think Elm is in a very good place documentation wise.

    Aside from syntax, what you probably need is https://package.elm-lang.org. Default (built-in) functions can be found at elm/core, while other stuff relating to building web application can be found at elm/browser. Take a look at other elm/... packages too, they are written by authors of elm.

    Can you explain what you are missing? The guide is not supposed to give you all the libraries/API - you can find that here: https://package.elm-lang.org/
    5 projects | /r/elm | 15 Jul 2021
    If you are looking for a complete API documentation you should be browsing https://package.elm-lang.org/ ; I still find it lacking compared to other programming languages, but it's definitely more complete that the starting guide.

    Elm is a strongly typed functional language, compiler, package manager, and framework. You write in the Elm language, and it compiles to JavaScript for use in the browser. The Elm compiler has 2 basic modes of development, and production. It optionally has a REPL if you want to test some basic code. The package manager uses it’s own website and structure using elm.json, instead of package.json. The framework is what Elm is most known for, and was the inspiration for Redux.
