In a conversation on JAMstack Radio, Richard Feldman and Brooke Angel from NoRedInk discuss their experience with Elm, a statically typed functional programming language, in building their internet-based curriculum. They leverage Elm for its safety features, which provide protection against common errors, making it an ideal choice for onboarding new developers. The conversation also highlights the team's use of Netlify, a platform that supports the JAMstack, to deploy and manage their applications.
