If you want something way out there on the beam there is also "erlog" which is a prolog that runs in an erlang process. It is by Robert Virding who also wrote lfe and erllua as well as was one of the creators of erlang If we ever want to do an elm -> beam compiler I would say we would want him on

I'm just playing around and don't want to learn another language at the moment, so although I'd like to look at Elixir/Phoenix, or F#, or Haskell, or Scala, I'm using Java via Dropwizard. http://www.dropwizard.io/1.0.0/docs/ If you already know Java, it's a fairly lightweight (for Java) way

I use LFE for a lot of little here, it is quite nice, and also made by one of the original Erlang devs. :-) On Monday, September 12, 2016 at 10:10:19 AM UTC-6, Dave Rapin wrote: > > LFE looks very cool, going to check it out. > > On Mon, Sep 12, 2016 at 11:57 AM, OvermindDL1

I'm using Elixir as well currently, and no, its type system kind of sucks, however you can enforce both types and even values within on function calls via matchspecs and 'when' clauses (which are very simple and succinct). However, Elixir is an immutable functional language and its matchspecs

+1 to F#. Being a CAML based strongly typed functional language with type inference, it bears more than a passing resemblance to Elm. In fact in patches the two are almost indistinguishable. However, I do think it depends on your pedigree; developers will tend to reach for what they're
