ELM - FUNctional language for frontend by Tomas Latal

The video is a presentation on Elm, a functional programming language for frontend development that compiles to JavaScript. The presenter gives an overview of Elm's features, including its clean syntax, strong typing, immutable data structures, and no runtime exceptions guarantee. The main highlight of the presentation is a demonstration of implementing a tic-tac-toe game in Elm. The presenter also mentions some of the benefits of using Elm, including its small size, speed, and helpful error messages.
Tomas Latal has loved computers and programming ever since he could reach a keyboard. For his career he tried a lot of different languages and frameworks and found out that the frontend world suits him best. After struggling with JS for several years, he stumbled upon Elm and immediately fell in love with it. For the last 6 years he has been writing Elm applications proffesionally and currently leads a team of Elm developers in Scrive. He also promotes TDD and organises coderetreats for a local community and companies.

i love elm i am using it to build a progressive web app i am a ux designer and i wanted to try coding ...i tried alot of stuff and i like what elm has to offer

As far as I can tell, Elm, when compiled into JavaScript, resembles like a React/Vue SPA application (Elm has its own virtual DOM). As you know SPA (client-side-rendering) applications have big problems with SEO and achieving good results in Google Lighthouse. 1. Does Elm have support for server-side-rendering? 2. What is the reactivity model of an application written in Elm (is there a classic hydration like in React, or maybe something similar to resumability from Qwik)? 3. Can Elm be used to write backend in Node/Deno? Also worrying is the fact that looking at Elm's repository - there hasn't been a commit there for several years. The website of the language itself hasn't been updated for several years either. Could it be that the project has simply died?

Is Elm more used in Sweden than in Germany? I saw No Elm Jobs on jobtensor.
