Our CTO is the kind to speak highly about. Strong technical/software engineering skills. Willing to experiment with new/different tech. Business minded. He agreed whole-heartedly to move forward with Elm in the first place. This is actually our 2nd project with Elm now.
> Can’t these things sit side by side? How is re-writing code aligned with moving faster?
Yes; in fact, we’d always had a mix of Elm+JS.
Our product is not a Single Page App. (Very deliberate decision.) We’re only using JS/Elm to make small parts interactive. So there was only a relatively small amount of Elm code that was replaced.
It allows us to move faster because our designer and a couple of junior devs on the team don’t have to struggle through learning Elm.

Why make the contemplating so difficult for the non-programmers to work with? It's holding back Elm adoption for sure.
