I've been trying out Elm, and although I have a little functional
programming experience from F#, mostly I have used OO languages. With my
experiments in Elm, I have found sometimes I end up with something like this
foofunction model =
let
something = foo bar baz
somethingElse = foo bar baz
yetMoreStuff = foo qux thud
in
{ model
| fieldA = something
, fieldB = somethingElse
, fieldC = yetMoreStuff
}
... anyway I hope you get the idea. A style of function which lot of lines
in the 'let' block before generally one final thing in the 'in' block. In
F#, this sort of thing didn't look so bad as the stuff in the let block
would be all applied with individual 'let' functions. However in Elm they
start to *resemble *OO/imperitive style variable assignments, which makes
me question whether this is the Right Thing to do, or would it be
considered stylistically better to do something else, like for eg chain the
model through individual updating functions using '|>'. Any strong
opinions about this? Have not seen too much about it in the style guides
etc that I have encountered
