Explore the benefits and practical aspects of using Elm for production web applications in this conference talk from YOW! 2015. Learn how Richard Feldman, a functional programming expert and author, rewrote a CoffeeScript web app for editing 100,000-word novels in Elm, resulting in improved speed, robustness, and maintainability. Discover why Elm is an excellent choice for both experienced developers and those new to functional programming, with its static type inference, immutability, and first-class FRP system. Gain insights into transitioning from imperative architecture to FRP, leveraging the JavaScript ecosystem while maintaining functional invariants, and the overall advantages of functional programming in the browser.
