First impressions of Elm. For my next pet project I decided to learn Elm. Elm is a functional language similar to Haskell, that compiles to JavaScript. These are my first impressions so take them with a grain of salt. Syntax Elm’s syntax is similar to Haskell’s. I had tried to learn Haskell a long time ago but failed miserably because […].

It’s a horror scenario set in 1914 London, where the protagonists are suffragettes (the radical branch of the suffragist movement). The themes are oppression, feminism and […].
