Elm Weekly - Issue #110

www.elmweekly.nl

It has been an eventful week for Elm. You can learn how to get extra compile-time checking with a phantom type technique, we now have both a collection of elm-css examples and a collection of elm-ui examples. And, perhaps the biggest announcement: a platform for writing both frontend and backend code in Elm.


Articles and Discussion

Michel Belleville explored the concept of monads based on the elm/parser package.

Tools and Projects

Announcing Lamdera Open Alpha

After ~3 years of development, Mario Rogic announced an open alpha of Lamdera, a type-safe full-stack web-app platform for Elm. It allows you to write both frontend and backend in Elm and aims to abstract a lot of incidental complexity.

elmcsspatterns.io

Ricardo García Vega started a collection of common CSS patterns implemented with Elm and elm-css. Handy if you don't want to start from scratch!

elm-ui patterns

I thought it would be great to have something like elmcsspatterns.io for elm-ui as well, so I made a collection of elm-ui examples.

Talks

Mario gave a talk about Lamdera at Elm Europe last year:

The year before that, he also talked about Evergreen, a data migration system for Lamdera:

That's it for this week!
