Elm 2022, a year in review

2022 has been another exciting year for Elm, with many interesting packages, blog posts, videos, podcasts, demos, tutorials, applications, and so on.

Let's have a look at it in retrospect.

This is a list of relevant materials. I am sure there is stuff that I missed. Send me a DM in case you think there is something that I should add or remove.

At the bottom, you will also find some of the companies that hired Elm developers in 2022 and a partial list of companies that use Elm.

People like functional programming for different reasons. Some like it for the conceptual elegance, or the mathematical properties. Richard? He likes to build things. He likes it when the software he builds works well and is easy to maintain. For the past decade he's been using functional programming both professionally and as a hobbyist, and has found it has helped him ship higher quality software in less time than in the decade he spent writing object-oriented code before.)

• July 28th - Video Static analysis tools love pure FP - A presentation by Jeroen Engels at Lambda Days 2022 (Functional programming languages have many benefits that are often explained from the developer's point of view, such as how easy it is to maintain a codebase. But we rarely look at it from the point of view of tools. Static analysis tools try to infer meaning and intent in order to find bugs and code smells, but they can be very hard to write depending on the features of the analyzed language. We will look at how explicitness, the lack of side-effects and dynamic constructs in pure FP languages empower tools to trivially achieve surprising results that would be nearly impossible with other paradigms.)

• July 28th - Video Towards Smart E-Learning Mentor Dispatch - A presentation by Christopher Schankula at Lambda Days 2022 (The McMaster Start Coding program has taught over 26,000 K-12 students programming using Elm over the last five years. Collectively, they have compiled nearly 4 million programs in our online learning platform. The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated the switch to a fully virtual setup, which continues as schools have strict visitor limits. Virtual learning also necessitates upgrades to the online code compilation and mentoring software we use. In particular, we need to determine when a student is stuck so as to be able to make better use of mentor resources and proactively help students who are struggling. This presentation details data mining efforts to predict metrics such as the length of time that a student is likely to struggle if they are receiving an error in their program, in order to dispatch mentors and help the students who need the most attention.)

• July 28th - Video Functional Parsing for Novel Markup Languages - A presentation by James Carlson at Lambda Days 2022 (With functional languages like Elm that target the browser, one can parse and render both classical and novel markup languages in real time, providing authors a pleasant, zero-config tool for writing and distributing mathematical text. The talk will outline how one designs and builds a fault-tolerant parser that provides high-quality, real-time error messages in-place in the rendered text. As case studies we consider two markup languages: MiniLaTeX, a subset of LaTeX, and L1, an experimental markup with a syntax inspired by Lisp.)

• December 7th - Video How to do Property based Testing Shrinkers Right - A presentation by Martin Janiczek at Haskell eXchange (Property-based testing (PBT) is a valuable tool in the functional programming world: it generates test inputs for you (finding tricky edge cases you wouldn't be able to find manually) and lets you specify and verify laws and invariants about your code with ease. Virtually all PBT tools nowadays shrink the failing inputs to a minimal (and thus much more helpful) counterexample before presenting it to you. Implementing shrinkers can be tricky, though. I'll walk through the common shrinking algorithms (seen in QuickCheck, Hedgehog, ScalaCheck, etc.), their inherent problems, and most importantly: how to implement shrinking in a way that doesn't suffer from them!)
