I read the article. After reading this comment I tried to get it summarised.
The result wasn't pretty. The summary claimed that there is skepticism over the security of Private Cloud computing, which the article actually praises.
I'm not sure. I haven't looked into the issue much.
In any case, I would expect web-sockets to work out out the box in a language that is specifically designed to run in the browser.
If that's not working I'm sure that less common parts of the web platform aren't supported either.
Normally I wouldn't care and implement stuff myself and contribute back, but it doesn't seem to be a realistic option in Elm.
I appreciate that what's there is generally of very high quality, but I cannot pretend that there aren't many missing pieces and, more importantly, no clear roadmap
I would be totally on board with these changes if an alternative way of doing things had been offered.
From the philosophical point of view they are exactly what is needed to allow Elm give as much guarantees as possible.
The sad reality is that very little pragmatism went into this release and now stuff like web-sockets won't work [1].
This is very surprising because web-sockets are an use case where the Elm-architecture really shines.
Things like this reinforces my idea that while Elm is a very nice language I wouldn't want to have it in production, or even in a side project, at least till it reaches 1.0 and becomes more stable.
The key is not saying "I don't know" and end the conversation. You should give advices on where to find the information needed and who is in a best position to answer.
I've done it plenty of times and my colleagues keep coming back to me when they need help.
I would allow them, but then I'd also shift the focus from learning some mechanical procedure or facts to more fundamental concepts and increase the complexity of the problems accordingly.
It's hard to do it right, but I believe it has the potential to to engage students and increase their understanding by separating the boring parts (that a computer can easily do) and the challenging parts that the students need to understand
Just yesterday I read this article that an acquaintance of mine wrote on her experience as an American who lived for a while in the UK and then went back to the states https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/where-are-you-from/
> If you're on the fence, I say go for it! Put yourself in the mindset of growth and make it happen when you land.
This is a very good point. When you move you have a blank slate and you get the opportunity to turn your life into what you want it to be without having to fight against your status-quo
