== Features ==
Elm has a small set of language constructs, including traditional if-expressions, let-expressions for storing local values, and case-expressions for [[pattern matching]].<ref name="syntax">{{cite web |url=http://elm-lang.org/learn/Syntax.elm |title=syntax |website=elm-lang.org |access-date=2013-05-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160313052210/http://elm-lang.org/learn/syntax.elm|archive-date=2016-03-13 |url-status=dead}}</ref> As a functional language, it supports [[anonymous function]]s, functions as arguments, and functions can return functions, the latter often by partial application of [[currying|curried]] functions. Functions are called by value. Its semantics include immutable values, [[pure function|stateless functions]], and static typing with type inference. Elm programs render HTML through a virtual DOM, and may interoperate with other code by using "JavaScript as a service".
