Re: [elm-discuss] Stance on native APIs for 0.18?

Sorry to be dense, but ... in what actual scenario would the following cause problems, assuming I am writing for the browser? - Allow Elm code to make synchronous function calls to js, expecting a js value wrapped in a Result - Use encoders / decoders if needed at the boundary, a dec

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Stance on native APIs for 0.18?

I would love to be able to make synchronous functional calls to js and get a Result back. Taking simple clean synchronous functional code (e.g. if it were all in Elm), and being forced to chop out bits into async calls with async Msg callbacks (just because it is not all in Elm) impacts my cod
