Elm Town 85 – Wander: Elm Camp 2025

Author: Jared M. Smith July 22, 2025 Duration: 1:00:51
In a short break from the Wonder series, John Pavlick, Wolfgang Schuster, and Tristan Pendergrass join Jared to report on the Elm Camp 2025 unconference experience in Michigan, USA.

Elm isn't just a programming language; it's a community built by curious and passionate people. Elm Town, hosted by Jared M. Smith, gives that community a voice. Each episode moves beyond technical syntax to explore the human stories behind the code. You'll hear from the individuals who are actively shaping Elm, from its core creators to developers who have chosen it for ambitious projects. Conversations delve into their motivations, the challenges they've faced, and the unique solutions they've built. This podcast captures the ongoing dialogue about where Elm is headed and why its approach to front-end development resonates so deeply. It’s about the philosophy of building reliable software and the collective effort that turns a good idea into a practical tool. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that feel like pulling up a chair with fellow engineers, where the talk is as much about craft and community as it is about compiler errors and elegant architecture. In Elm Town, you get a genuine sense of the people making and using the Elm language, and all the interesting things they do along the way.
