# learn `elm` ## Why? > It's _difficult_ to _introduce_ elm to someone who has _never_ heard of it before without sounding "_evangelical_" ... <br /> We've tried our best to be "_objective_" and ***factual***; the _fact_ is that Elm is ***awesome***. <br /> Which is why _so many_ JS projects have "borrowed" (_shamelessly copied_) it's ideas. (Redux, Immutable.js, etc.) <br /> > @rtfeldman put it best in his [**6 Months of Elm in Production** talk](https://youtu.be/R2FtMbb-nLs?t=47m36s) (_which we **highly recommend** watching!_)<br /> "_If you take **two products** and **compare** them on **feature-checklists** that gets you <br /> a **very inaccurate picture** of what it's going to be like to actually **use them**_."  > If anything in `this` guide is unclear/unexplained, _please_ help us _improve_ by opening an issue: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-elm/issues [](https://github.com/dwyl/learn-elm/issues) ### Why _Not_ Just use XYZ JavaScript Framework (_which has similar features_) ? _Most_ of us are _already comfortable_ with `JavaScript` and it is _still_ (_and will remain_) the [_**most popular programming language**_](https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018/#technology-programming-scripting-and-markup-languages) ... so _**why**_ should we even _consider_ it? There are _many_ "_technical_" reasons for using Elm: + "[_**Pure**_](https://drboolean.gitbooks.io/mostly-adequate-guide/content/ch3.html)" _functional style_ means all your functions are _**predictable**_ and thus _**very reliable**_. <br /> No surprises even when you are working with a distributed team of dozens of people! + [***Immutable state***](https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/235558/what-is-state-mutable-state-and-immutable-state) means there are _fewer_ (_often zero_) ["_**side effects**_"](https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/40297/what-is-a-side-effect) + _**Fewer language features**_ [**_lowers_ cognitive load**](https://blog.prototypr.io/design-principles-for-reducing-cognitive-load-84e82ca61abd) when you're reading (_other people's_) code + **_Much_ less to learn** than comparable "Stacks" e.g: + **React** + Redux + Flow + Immutable + Babel + all the other setup code... + **Angular 2** + Typescript + Babel + ReactiveX + etc. (_bottom line is: elm is `less` to learn_!) + _**Much faster**_ than React.js or Angular 2 in _all_ ["***benchmarks***"](https://elm-lang.org/blog/blazing-fast-html-round-two) + **Built-in ["_Time Travelling_" Debugger](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSjbTC-hvqQ&feature=youtu.be&list=PLglJM3BYAMPH2zuz1nbKHQyeawE4SN0Cd&t=1633)** that lets you record and replay actions in a user session (_thus **eliminating** the need for manually writing Selenium/Nightwatch tests!_) + _**Helpful/friendly compiler `error` messages**_ that _inform you **exactly**_ what is wrong (_during compilation_) _before_ you attempt to view your app in the browser/device. + Evan surveyed the _existing_ web programming languages for his University thesis and Elm is the `result` of that study (_borrows ideas from several places and assembles them into a cohesive beautiful package much how Apple made the original iPhone..._) The _reason(s)_ we [@**dwyl**](https://twitter.com/dwyl) are _using_ the `elm` _ecosystem_ is because it has: + _**beginner-friendly** and thriving **community** where everyone is welcome_ + _clear **leadership** from nice + smart people and_ + _excellent **documentation** (which greatly reduces frustration for beginners)_ + _a shared **mission** to build the **best** graphical user interfaces for the web!_ These are a _few_ of [our **_favourite_ things**](https://youtu.be/0IagRZBvLtw). ## What? ### `Elm` is a programming language for creating
