Awesome! A lot of smart people have been saying good things about Cycle.JS, but I unfortunately have been unable to wrap my head around it. The idea of putting stream of user-generated events front and center appeals to the puritan in me, but I find it more natural to think about the front-end beginning with the rendered view, and events and their mutation (uni-directional actions) later. The Elm language is yet another area that gives the fear of missing out on the 'better than yesterday's abstraction'. But as long as I'm able to build great software with the tools I know and patterns my brain is comfortable manipulating, they can wait. This is the line of thinking that I mentioned in the original post about no one true way.
