I wrote a blog post about an #Elm package I wrote called elm-knobs. Mostly, I give a few details about how I wrote the documentation, tests and such. I'm not one to publish packages often, so this was a learning experience on several fronts.

Besonders interessant für mich als Trailläufer sind die Dokumente zu den Bergstürzen in #Goldau und #Elm, wo ich über jeden Berg in der Umgebung schon gelaufen bin.

What do people find most confusing about JSON decoding in #elm ?
Today's Gren Twigs video is about Gren Tui, a package for writing terminal UIs in a pure, functional, type-safe way using The Elm Architecture. I am very excited about this one and would love if you shared it!

I like all #programming languages. I like even more those languages that an experienced #programmer could learn in a few hours, like #Elm, #TypeScript, #Gleam, and a few other similar ones.
I am not claiming that these languages will make all jaded programmers happy, for each has its own set of pluses and minuses. I am simply pointing out that "unquantifiable something" in their design that makes these languages easier to take up.
That "something" could well be #simplicity. The designers of these little languages seem to be more concerned with making the language users' lives easier through simplicity, instead of with impressing other language designers through complexity. This is also the same philosophy behind FORTRAN, LISP, C, and Smalltalk. And I would add ML, MATLAB, and Go to this list, too.
Am #tezelstein wartet anscheinend ein #kuscheltier abgeholt zu weden.
Is #elm a viable language at this time? Is it considered abandonware? Is anyone starting new projects with it?
After learning Isabelle/HOL lately I've resurfarced my love for strong type systems and ML-inspired languages and I may build my new project with Elm to see where it is.
@disconcision #hazel looks interesting. Not heard of yet.
Hazel is a live functional-programming environment rooted in the principles of type theory.

A total of four trees in #Edmonton have tested positive for #DutchElmDisease in what is the first appearance of the disease in the city.
All four have been removed and the city says it is taking "swift action" to assess all of the #elm #trees in the two affected neighbourhoods – #Killarney and #YellowheadCorridorEast – to contain the spread.

Disease has killed most of UK's elm #trees since the 1960s—but they may be making a comeback https://phys.org/news/2024-07-disease-uk-elm-trees-1960s.html
"Fortunately, a network of knowledgeable private citizens has taken up the mantle of elm research and poured time, effort into the trees... #elm enthusiasts import and care for resistant elm... monitor their suitability for the local environment, how the new trees compare with #elms of the past and their ability to host species such as the white-letter hairstreak #butterfly"
I've been wondering for a while how to put arbitrary HTML inside an #Elm app.
I wondered if I could register a custom HTML element which takes a string of HTML code as an attribute, and sets the innerHTML of its shadow root to that code. The Elm app could then create an instance of that element and pass a string of HTML to it.
It works!

…for the so inclined; a silent movie about todays work at the lathe. Took me just about three hours from first photo to the last. Posted in low video quality to fit Mastodon format (up to 100Mb). Put it on pause when it moves too fast.
