Is there a way to use the elm lang's syntax but to run my own js code?

[jshrt]

Hello,

I would like to be able to use a little js library that we are working on with the luxuries of elm-lang's type of syntax.
Example:
I want to be able to do:

Model = ...

in the "elm-lang" like syntax but run my javascript:

const model = lib.Model({})

My knowledge is limited and I plan to learn as I go, so any advice is appreciated. Also, I do not know if this is the right place to ask but where else right.

Thanks

Hi there :) Elm is not really designed for this use case. If you want to make direct calls back and forth, there are other languages that will work a lot better. If you just want different syntax, projects like CoffeeScript may give you more what you are looking for.

Anyway, I recommend asking questions like this on the Elm Slack where there are tons of folks who can help. Issues are more for specific bugs.
