Hi, author here. Thank you so much for this unfudging! I knew I was fudging things up a bit, and I didn't really understand the relationships between Prolog, Datalog, Horn clauses, and first-order logic. This clears things up a lot, though I think I'll need to read it a couple more times for it to sink in! Thanks again.

Maybe the answer is for elm-html to put a cursor-state attribute on textual input elements, and have event handlers for selection change? Then you can have the cursor state in your atom if you need it without ports....

`elm-make --report=json MyFile.elm` gives the error messages as JSON; very easy to parse out line & col. It's how the vim plugin that there's a video of in the post was made.

Yeah, I actually agree. Him just open sourcing the Stop Drawing Dead Fish tool for instance would move things forward a lot -- just to see how the internal data structures & algos work.
