I too want to learn elm.Do you knowing a good resource to start?

i'm not really a great source for this since i have yet to learn it, but i got hyped up when i saw this talk about elm, tho i should warn you that there is some sussy stuff going on with elm now. i read that the creator of elm removed the ability to call to JS for anyone but himself and removed ability for users to define custom operators. i personally, while still am interested in elm, will also take a look at PureScript which seems to be elm's most popular competitor

I'm really getting into elixir this past months, probably my favorite language atm. Even though it's not the 'purest' functional langauge out there, there's a bunch of great documentation! Not mentioning some incredible built-in tools, such as rpc and gen-servers (a small thread for state control, the Erlang VM can hold up to 2 million of those, insane stuff).
