I misunderstood the title at first. I thought this was a rewrite of the Elm compiler in Haskell. This confused me because I was pretty sure that Elm was already written in Haskell.

For anyone else who was confused like I was: this is more like a new frontend framework to implement the Elm architecture but in Haskell. Kind of the way Fable.io has a framework called Elmish, but you're writing in F#.

I am guessing the title should be more like "An implementation of Elm Architecture for Haskell." Even then, it kind of appears to be much more than that based on a cursory glance.
Agreed, could have chosen a better title.
I did too, but I thought it was going to be a mail client (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elm_(email_client))
