</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Features">Features</h2></div>
<p>Elm has a small set of language constructs, including traditional if-expressions, let-expressions for storing local values, and case-expressions for <a href="Pattern_matching" title="Pattern matching">pattern matching</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-syntax_22-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-syntax-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As a functional language, it supports <a href="Anonymous_function" title="Anonymous function">anonymous functions</a>, functions as arguments, and functions can return functions, the latter often by partial application of <a href="Currying" title="Currying">curried</a> functions. Functions are called by value. Its semantics include immutable values, <a href="Pure_function" title="Pure function">stateless functions</a>, and static typing with type inference. Elm programs render HTML through a virtual DOM, and may interoperate with other code by using "JavaScript as a service".
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Immutability">Immutability</h3></div>
<p>All values in Elm are <a href="Immutable_object" title="Immutable object">immutable</a>, meaning that a value cannot be modified after it is created. Elm uses <a href="Persistent_data_structure" title="Persistent data structure">persistent data structures</a> to implement its arrays, sets, and dictionaries in the standard library.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Static_types">Static types</h3></div>
<p>Elm is statically typed. Type annotations are optional (due to type inference) but strongly encouraged. Annotations exist on the line above the definition (unlike C-family languages where types and names are interspersed). Elm uses a single colon to mean "has type".
</p><p>Types include primitives like integers and strings, and basic data structures such as lists, tuples, and records. Functions have types written with arrows, for example <code>round&nbsp;: Float -&gt; Int</code>. <a href="Tagged_union" title="Tagged union">Custom types</a> allow the programmer to create custom types to represent data in a way that matches the problem domain.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Types can refer to other types, for example a <code>List Int</code>. Types are always capitalized; lowercase names are type variables. For example, a <code>List a</code> is a list of values of unknown type. It is the type of the empty list and of the argument to <code>List.length</code>, which is agnostic to the list's elements. There are a few special types that programmers create to interact with the Elm runtime. For example, <code>Html Msg</code> represents a (virtual) DOM tree whose event handlers all produce messages of type <code>Msg</code>.
</p><p>Rather than allow any value to be implicitly nullable (such as JavaScript's <code>undefined</code> or a <a href="Null_pointer" title="Null pointer">null pointer</a>), Elm's standard library defines a <code>Maybe a</code> type. Code that produces or handles an optional value does so explicitly using this type, and all other code is guaranteed a value of the claimed type is actually present.
</p><p>Elm provides a limited number of built-in <a href="Type_class" title="Type class">type classes</a>: <code>number</code> which includes <code>Int</code> and <code>Float</code> to facilitate the use of numeric operators such as <code>(+)</code> or <code>(*)</code>, <code>comparable</code> which includes numbers, characters, strings, lists of comparable things, and tuples of comparable things to facilitate the use of comparison operators, and <code>appendable</code> which includes strings and lists to facilitate concatenation with <code>(++)</code>. Elm does not provide a mechanism to include custom types into these type classes or create new type classes (see <a href="#Limits">Limits</a>).
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Module_system">Module system</h3></div>
<p>Elm has a <a href="Modular_programming" title="Modular programming">module system</a> that allows users to break their code into smaller parts called modules. Modules can hide implementation details such as helper functions, and group related code together. Modules serve as a namespace for imported code, such as <code>Bitwise.and</code>. Third party libraries (or packages) consist of one or more modules, and are available from the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://package.elm-lang.org/">Elm Public Library</a>. All libraries are versioned according to <a href="Software_versioning#Degree_of_compatibility" title="Software versioning">semver</a>, which is enforced by the compiler and other tools. That is, removing a function or changing its type can only be done in a major release.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Interoperability_with_HTML,_CSS,_and_JavaScript">Interoperability with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript</h3></div>
<p>Elm uses an abstraction called ports to communicate with <a href="JavaScript" title="JavaScript">JavaScript</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It allows values to flow in and out of Elm programs, making it possible to communicate between Elm and JavaScript.
</p><p>Elm has a library called elm/html that a programmer can use to write HTML and CSS within Elm.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It uses a virtual <a href="Document_Object_Model" title="Document Object Model">DOM</a> approach to make updates efficient.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Backend">Backend</h3></div>
<p>Elm does not officially support server-side development. Czaplicki does consider it a primary goal at this point, but public progress on this front has been slow. Nevertheless, there are several independent projects which attempt to explore Elm on the backend.
</p><p>The primary production-ready full-stack Elm platform is Lamdera, an open-core "unfork" of Elm.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Czaplicki has also teased Elm Studio, a potential alternative to Lamdera, but it isn't available to the public yet.<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Current speculation is that Elm Studio will use a future version of Elm that targets C, uses Emscripten to compile to WASM, and supports type-safe <a href="Postgres" class="mw-redirect" title="Postgres">Postgres</a> table generation.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>For full-stack frameworks, as opposed to <a href="Backend_as_a_service" title="Backend as a service">BaaS</a> products, elm-pages is perhaps the most popular fully open-source option.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It does not extend the Elm language, but just runs the compiled JS on <a href="Node.js" title="Node.js">Node.js</a>. It also supports scripting. There is also Pine, an Elm to .NET compiler, which allows safe interop with C#, F#, and other <a href="Common_Language_Runtime" title="Common Language Runtime">CLR</a> languages.<sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>There were also some attempts in Elm versions prior to 0.19.0 to use the <a href="BEAM_(Erlang_virtual_machine)" title="BEAM (Erlang virtual machine)">BEAM (Erlang virtual machine)</a> to run Elm, but they are stuck due to the removal of native code in 0.19.0 and changes to the package manager. One of the projects executed Elm directly on the environment,<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> while another one compiled it to Elixir.<sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Finally, the Gren programming language started out a fork of Elm primarily focused on backend support, although its goals have since shifted.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Elm_Architecture_(TEA_pattern)">The Elm Architecture (TEA pattern)</h2></div>
<p>The Elm Architecture is a <a href="Software_design_pattern" title="Software design pattern">software design pattern</a> and as a <a href="Three-letter_acronym" title="Three-letter acronym">TLA</a> called TEA pattern for building interactive web applications. Elm applications are naturally constructed in that way, but other projects may find the concept useful.
</p><p>An Elm program is always split into three parts:
</p>
<ul><li>Model - the state of the application</li>
<li>View - a function that turns the model into HTML</li>
<li>Update - a function that updates the model based on messages</li></ul>
<p>Those are the core of the Elm Architecture.
</p><p>For example, imagine an application that displays a number and a button that increments the number when pressed.<sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In this case, all we need to store is one number, so our model can be as simple as <code>type alias Model = Int</code>. The <code>view</code> function would be defined with the <code>Html</code> library and display the number and button. For the number to be updated, we need to be able to send a message to the <code>update</code> function, which is done through a custom type such as <code>type Msg = Increase</code>. The <code>Increase</code> value is attached to the button defined in the <code>view</code> function such that when the button is clicked by a user, <code>Increase</code> is passed on to the <code>update</code> function, which can update the model by increasing the number.
</p><p>In the Elm Architecture, sending messages to <code>update</code> is the only way to change the state. In more sophisticated applications, messages may come from various sources: user interaction, initialization of the model, internal calls from <code>update</code>, subscriptions to external events (window resize, system clock, JavaScript interop...) and URL changes and requests.
</p>

<p>Elm does not support <a href="Type_class#Higher-kinded_polymorphism" title="Type class">higher-kinded polymorphism</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which related languages <a href="Haskell" title="Haskell">Haskell</a>, <a href="Scala_(programming_language)" title="Scala (programming language)">Scala</a> and <a href="PureScript" title="PureScript">PureScript</a> offer, nor does Elm support the creation of <a href="Type_class" title="Type class">type classes</a>.
</p><p>This means that, for example, Elm does not have a generic <code>map</code> function which works across multiple data structures such as <code>List</code> and <code>Set</code>. In Elm, such functions are typically invoked qualified by their module name, for example calling <code>List.map</code> and <code>Set.map</code>. In Haskell or PureScript, there would be only one function <code>map</code>. This is a known feature request that is on Czaplicki's rough roadmap since at least 2015.<sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>40<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On the other hand, implementations of TEA pattern in advanced languages like <a href="Scala_(programming_language)" title="Scala (programming language)">Scala</a> does not suffer from such limitations and can benefit from <a href="Scala_(programming_language)" title="Scala (programming language)">Scala</a>'s type classes, <a href="Type-level_programming" class="mw-redirect" title="Type-level programming">type-level</a> and <a href="Kind_(type_theory)" title="Kind (type theory)">kind-level</a> programming constructs.<sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
