Learning Elm because of work into Vue/React but why is the code so ugly?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/elm

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • vite-elm-template

    A default template for building Elm applications using Vite.

    After that point I started looking into how Elm works from the web dev perspective with resources like Elm in Action and Frontend Masters courses (first working in ellie-app-for-elm-dev then upgrading to vite-elm-template).

  • ellie

    The Elm Live Editor

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • elm-ui

    What if you never had to write CSS again?

    "clean" means you are used to it. ELM is a totally new language (not like JS and TS) based on a paradigm (functional programming) that you are probably not used to. And it is based on the ML type system (different from what you are used to). So it is a lot of new things at once. "Reinventing the wheel" is an unfortunate side-effect of using a different way to do things. Some things can be copied verbatim, some are totally different. Check out "elm-ui" (https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/mdgriffith/elm-ui/latest/) for a very different and refreshing view in UI code in ELM (that will appeal to the mostly-backend developers in your workplace).
