What's the best programming environment for Elm? I know there's a Light Table plugin for Elm, which I think is promising (in some ways they seem like a natural fit, whilst they started separately the direction of both was inspired at least in part by Bret Victor's ideas), but I wonder what other tools are being used to code Elm.

Sublime Text with Elm language support[1] does auto compilation and is plenty enough. It also comes with an extension to SublimeREPL[2]

I'm using Emacs. Maybe it's not the best environment for Elm. But it's consistent across languages; almost every language that I've played with has a mode; and it runs damn near everywhere including a terminal. For me, I feel it was worth the investment in the learning curve I made a couple of years ago...and keep making today. YMMV.


The atom plugin is excellent
