[elm-discuss] What do you think Elm's biggest shortcomings are when it comes to natively supported API's?

2016-12-10 Thread W. Brian Gourlie
I've noticed a fair amount of discussion around various shortcomings of Elm's native libraries. Particular examples that affect me are the limited Websocket API and no native typed-array implementation. The former is limits me quite a bit, while the latter is simply a nice-to-have. I've seen c

(Elm discuss is fine for this. There are almost no open discussions on elm dev, as these are usually a waste of everyone's time.) For me, these things would be nice to have: * WebAudio API * File upload * Working with binary files, e.g. parsing * Persistent cache, offering access to local
