Elm is so amazing. It isn't as amazing when you just try out it's tutorial, but if you try to build an actual application in it, especially if you are a single programmer working on a project. In my experience whenever I worked on a JS project on my own, there was an upper limit to how far I could keep writing the code on my own. After that, I had to spend time in doing other things (like writing Integration tests, lots and lots of unit tests, or refactor existing code because I realized that there are many issues unveiled). But now, with Elm, it's like a whole set of unit tests are being written at the time of writing code which take care of plenty of common errors usually made due to lack of a good type system. Add to that the usage of Maybe types (which are very beneficial in avoiding some UI antipatterns[1]), and the Reactive Programming pattern, I feel like I am writing a lot less code than what I am used to writing in JS projects. I highly recommend Elm to anyone who wants to write a personal project, you'd see what benefits I'm talking about. 1. http://blog.jenkster.com/2016/06/how-elm-slays-a-ui-antipattern.html http://blog.jenkster.com/2016/06/how-elm-slays-a-ui-antipatt...
