Native Elm (the real kind this time)

Back in December I hacked Elm onto a Node.js backend and got a little carried away calling it “Elm on the backend.” It wasn’t, really. Node did all the actual work – opened the socket, parsed the HTTP, wrote the response – and Elm sat in the middle shuffling opaque values between ports. A fun trick, and I still think the passport-through-Elm bit is neat. But the whole time, there was a JavaScript runtime underneath holding the thing up.
