Elm is a programming language designed to make writing frontend web apps pleasant, predictable, and easy to maintain.
It is purely functional and much easier to learn from scratch and use than, say, Haskell or TypeScript.
It's probably one of the best languages yet for learning to program for the first time. It's been growing in popularity and has inspired lots of other libraries and languages.
Elm goes to great lengths to provide the developer with a consistent experience, and has a great compiler that helps catch mistakes and makes refactoring easier.
