Sounds interesting and I'd love to code in a real functional language instead of functional style in an imperative language. I haven't looked into Elm but isn't this going against the grain too much? TypeScript seems to be gaining traction such as with Angular 2. I mean I could code in OCaml with a transpiler to JavaScript if I wanted to but it probably isn't worth the friction.
