== Limitations ==

Line 57 ⟶ 59:

In a quick browse to Elm site I could not find how it evaluate functions. Because it transliterate to JavaScript, functions are called by value.

I did the following experiment:

<syntaxhighlight lang="text">

<code>

enumFrom : number -> List number

enumFrom n = n :: (enumFrom (n+1))

</syntaxhighlight>

</code>

testing the function I got:

<syntaxhighlight lang="text">

<code>

> List.take 5 (enumFrom 1)

too much recursion

</syntaxhighlight>

</code>

a lazy language (call by need) would eval to:

<syntaxhighlight lang="text">

<code>

[1,2,3,4,5]

</syntaxhighlight>

</code>

== Removal of Wikidata URL ==

@[[User:Alexflatter|Alexflatter]]: why'd you remove the Wikidata URL from the infobox in {{diff|diff=prev|oldid=1276928300|label=this diff}}? I'm unfamiliar with the policy here so I'm not going to revert, but I'd appreciate it if you'd provide a reason. {{pb}} Also, I'm sure other editors would appreciate it if you would make use of edit summaries to explain your edits (and ideally cite policy/guidelines) so that we don't have to ask like this.

:I don't think there's much of a difference, but my version looks better visually (without the blue pencil). This doesn't violate cite policy/guidelines. [[User:Alexflatter|Alexflatter]] ([[User talk:Alexflatter|talk]]) 17:00, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

::Fair enough that it looks better without the blue pencil. By the way, when I said {{tq|cite policy/guidelines}} (I realize my language may have been confusing), I meant that you should explain your edits in the edit summary and, if possible, mention in that summary any pages in the [[Wikipedia:project namespace|project namespace]] that provide additional support for your edit.
