I'm not sure I understand exactly what this has to do with Elm.

Based on this example <https://wende.github.io/elmchemy/stable/> this 
appears to be a transpiler that uses syntax *similar* to Elm.

For example:

   1. In the pattern matches, you pattern match on tuples without the open 
   and close parens. So this is not valid Elm code. 
   2. It appears that the ffi function is allowing you to bring in impure 
   Elixir functions. So now effects are not captured in the types.

The second one in particular is such a divergence from the core design of 
Elm that I don't see how it makes sense to call it by the same name. So 
again, this does not appear to be related to Elm except in that the syntax 
is similar. Is that a correct assessment?
