In Sep 2018, @ondrej asked about Synchronous Platform.worker . The thread is closed, but here is an asynchronous Platform.worker using 0.19 based on @rupert 's excellent response; I hope that this is an acceptable way to pass on this information. <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-…

Thanks for the suggestion but it is not exactly what I was looking for. The reason I wanted specifically the synchronous version is that it would be nice to just replace some JS functions with Elm functions. But since there is no way to have a synchronous Elm call from JS it is not possible to “jus…

Could you elaborate a bit more on what do you mean by “processing the result”?

The output of the compiler is readable JS. With each version there is a specific format for this output. This can be used to process this output, for example, adding a specific function or a family of functions to the exports. Please note that this qualifies as a “hack” solution and I’m not really …

That doesn’t sound like a viable solution to me. The output can be changed with any hotfix and it would be quite some work to reverse engineer the inner working of Elm so I can strip out unnecessary stuff. This is unfortunately the way I’m not willing to go.

Is there a reason this ability isn’t built into (exposd by) Elm?
