Limitations

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The section about limitations is wrong. Elm does support higher-order functions. Therefore functions such as fold and map do exist. Compare http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm-lang/core/2.1.0/List or the following piece of valid code:

map : (a -> b) -> List a -> List b
map f xs = case xs of
                  (y::ys) -> (f y) :: (map f ys)
                  [] -> []
