A shame they didn’t rewrite it in Elm while they had the opportunity.
- thejameskyle 10y agoTo start, I love Elm. I'm super interested in compilers and I've looked a lot into theirs. However, Elm is still making breaking changes on the language level [1]. To bet on a language like that right now is tough for a larger company. Also, we're not dropping everything and rewriting it all from the ground up. I'm not sure that Elm has a good story for incremental migrations yet, where React has an excellent one. [1]: http://elm-lang.org/blog/farewell-to-frp http://elm-lang.org/blog/farewell-to-frp
