We are excited to announce that our platform now supports custom coding assessments in Elm with automated grading. As a niche programming language, Elm has become increasingly popular among web developers who appreciate its simplicity and reliability.

In this blog post, we’ll give you a brief history of the Elm programming language, explain what it is, and show you how CodeScreen can help you screen for the right Elm developers for your team.

 

The History of Elm

Elm was created in 2012 by Evan Czaplicki as a purely functional programming language that compiles to JavaScript and runs on the web. Due to its focus on simplicity, reliability, and ease of use, Elm has become increasingly popular among web developers.

 

What is Elm?

Elm is a statically typed functional programming language that compiles to JavaScript and runs on the web. It was designed to make it easy to build reliable and maintainable web applications. Its simplicity comes from its minimal syntax and the absence of null and undefined values. Elm’s reliability comes from its strong type system, which catches many errors at compile time and prevents runtime exceptions. Elm’s syntax is similar to Haskell and ML, but it is specifically designed for building web applications. Elm uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update the UI and has built-in support for reactive programming, making it easy to build complex user interfaces.
