To my knowledge, the recursive type that you specified *will* compile. See here . My issue is in fact related to mutually recursive types, it's just that my types are truly

[elm-discuss] Re: How to write function that updates arbitrary element of a record

I think I have something close to what you're looking for, but my solution makes me wonder, *why store text in your model rather than the parsed float/int values?* It seems like you want the parsed values for a calculation, not to format a paragraph of text. update : Msg -> Model -> Model

Re: [elm-discuss] Taking over the DOM in WebGL

This is possible, the folks at Figma are doing something similar to have a native-like editing experience on the browser. It's hard though, you'd be implementing a whole rendering engine to achieve that. For the more average application, it would restrict you to one-page apps, failures wouldn't

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Metalinguistic abstractions over databases

I guess you weren't explicitly defining type aliases for those records. But still, I think you might be able to salvage the API if you wrap the records in union type constructors. On Sun, Oct 23, 2016 at 6:10 PM, Nick H wrote: > If you are trying to make a recursive

[elm-discuss] Re: Problem with Html.Lazy

I'd also like to hear way it was designed this way. I assumed that `lazy` would compare the argument *values*, not *references*. It appears to use `===` under the hood. In its current state, lazy is pretty much unusable unless the given argument is a String, Int, Float, Bool (in other words,

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Metalinguistic abstractions over databases

If you are trying to make a recursive type definition, you need to use union types. E.G. This is not OK: type alias Session = { speaker : Speaker } type alias Speaker = { sessions : List Session } But this will compile. type Session = Session { speaker : Speaker } type Speaker = Speaker {

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Metalinguistic abstractions over databases

I'm coming to the sad realization that an api like this is simply not possible: ``` session = resource "sessions" { id = int "id" , speaker_id = int "speaker_id" , start_time = string "start_time" , end_time = string "end_time" , location = string

[elm-discuss] Re: Pre-requisites for learning Elm?

Elm is definitely a front-end language for javascript so it does assume at least a little prior experience, at least with html/css and how they work if not javascript (depending on what you need to do). The class does not have those pre-requisites first? Is it Elm specific or just a generic

Hi everyone, I've never programmed before and in my first year course we're doing Elm. The prof expects us to learn Elm on our own, and simply does examples in class applying what he thinks we should have learned. Problem is, I'm totally lost. Some people are telling me you're supposed to know

Re: [elm-discuss] Looking for subcomponent example to learn from

You may want to think in terms of "shared" data — e.g., the time or the fluid level — and "private" data — e.g., the animation data — and possibly some additional configuration data that doesn't change. Then you end up with type signatures like the following: view : Config -> SharedData ->

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: More on external "components"

The project in question was Elm 0.16 based and we've moved on to other work so the details need some translation (which I will attempt to handle here), but the net was that it worked reasonably well with some caveats and hacks. The first problem is getting Dropzone.js to attach its logic to the

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Inter-Component Communication in 0.17

If you need to communicate between 2 or more enclosed pieces of functionality/modules, you'll need to orchestrate that communication via their parent. Like I said, I regret posting the original solution that I did, since it was essentially circumventing the elm language. You should try to stay

[elm-discuss] Taking over the DOM in WebGL

Would there be any interest/way to just take over the dom rather than use diffing? Like, could we just control the screen directly using WebGL and eliminate the dom completely? I feel like this would be easy using Three.js, but no one has done it...am I missing something here? -- You received
