Elchemy is a transpiler that lets you write Elixir code using Elm's statically-typed syntax, compiling to idiomatic, readable Elixir that runs on the BEAM. It combines Elm's type safety and inference with Elixir's ecosystem and tooling, including type-safe interop with Elixir/Erlang based on typespecs.

Use cases

• write type-safe elixir code with elm syntax
• transpile elm-like code to elixir
• add static typing to a beam project
• call elixir functions from a typed language
• eliminate runtime errors in elixir codebases

When to choose

• you want Elm's type safety while targeting the BEAM/Elixir ecosystem
• you prefer Elm syntax and type inference for writing Elixir
• you need type-safe interop with existing Elixir/Erlang code

When to avoid

• you develop on Windows or rely on non-Unix tooling
• you need side effects or JSON decoders support
• you need an actively maintained compiler - the project has not seen releases since 2020
