Dynamic Typing

In Python, variables can be assigned without explicit type declarations, allowing for dynamic typing:

x = 5
x = "Hello"

In Elm, types must be declared explicitly, which can lead to more robust code but requires more upfront specification:

x : Int
x = 5

x : String
x = "Hello" -- This will cause a type error

First-Class Functions

Python supports first-class functions, allowing functions to be passed as arguments:

def add(x, y):
    return x + y

def apply_function(func, x, y):
    return func(x, y)

result = apply_function(add, 2, 3)

In Elm, functions are also first-class citizens, but the type signatures must be defined:

add : Int -> Int -> Int
add x y = x + y

applyFunction : (Int -> Int -> Int) -> Int -> Int -> Int
applyFunction func x y = func x y

result = applyFunction add 2 3

List Comprehensions

Python allows list comprehensions for concise list creation:

squared = [x * 2 for x in range(10)]

Elm uses List.map to achieve similar functionality:

squared = List.map (\x -> x * 2) (List.range 0 9)

Elm Documentation on Lists

Exception Handling

Python uses try and except for exception handling:

try:
    result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
    result = "Cannot divide by zero"

Elm uses a Result type for error handling:

case divide 10 0 of
    Ok value -> value
    Err err -> "Cannot divide by zero"

Mutable State

Python allows mutable state, enabling in-place modifications:

x = [1, 2, 3]
x.append(4)

Elm emphasizes immutability, requiring new lists to be created:

x = [1, 2, 3]
x = x ++ [4]

Object-Oriented Programming

Python supports OOP with classes:

class Dog:
    def bark(self):
        return "Woof!"

Elm uses records and functions to achieve similar behavior:

type alias Dog =
    { bark : () -> Cmd msg }

bark : Dog -> Cmd msg
bark dog = dog.bark ()

Elm Documentation on Records

Importing Modules

Python imports modules using the import statement:

import math

Elm imports modules with a similar syntax but with explicit exposure:

import Math exposing (pi)

Elm Documentation on Modules

Pattern Matching

Python uses if statements for conditional logic:

if x == 1:
    print("One")

Elm uses pattern matching with case statements:

case x of
    1 -> "One"

Elm Documentation on Pattern Matching

Higher-Order Functions

Python supports higher-order functions:

result = map(lambda x: x + 1, [1, 2, 3])

Elm uses List.map for similar functionality:

result = List.map (\x -> x + 1) [1, 2, 3]

Elm Documentation on Lists

Type Inference

Python allows functions without explicit type declarations:

def func(x):
    return x + 1

Elm requires type declarations for functions:

func : Int -> Int
func x = x + 1
