Elm is a friendly language for front-end development that promises 'no runtime exceptions'. It has a functional approach with a solid type system and a focus on simplicity. Michael will demonstrate how to get going with a basic Elm application and illustrate how some of the features of the language and the compiler lead to a smooth & enjoyable development experience.

We'll start with a demo and some live-coding. There'll be plenty of time for discussion, and do bring along your own laptop if you'd like to play along!
