Since Elm transpiles to JavaScript, and I have a "Programming with JavaScript in Minecraft" platform, I thought I'd give programming in Minecraft in Elm a go.
Elm is a purely functional language, and Minecraft is very much a mutations via side-effects environment - kind of like a web-browser where you are not the only thing mutating the DOM.
I took inspiration from a recent Elmconf talk on robotics programming in Elm. I'll share the mixed results I got, and what I learned along the way.
