  Description     : Elm is a functional language that compiles to JavaScript

Elm helps you make websites and web apps. It has a strong emphasis on 
simplicity and quality tooling.

It is a purely-functional, domain-specific programming language for 
declaratively creating web browser-based graphical user interfaces.

Its strengths are reliability of produced code through a strong type 
system and an event-driven architecture.

Elm is usually distributed as a single binary. Installation instructions
for GNU/Linux are found at https://guide.elm-lang.org/install/elm.html.

Unfortunately I do not have the know-how to maintain this package myself.
Possibly https://salsa.debian.org/js-team would be willing to maintain it?
Alternatively, pkg-haskell might be another good fit, given the
implementation language.
