Using Elm, even a little bit, has given me a perspective on what a different language can do in the browser.
If you subscribe to Gary Benhardt’s Capability/Suitability theory of programming history [1], JavaScript is the highly capable technology that can be used for any sort of architecture you can imagine, and Elm is a turn towards suitability that says, “some of those architectures are unsound or have a very low floor for quality.”
You might want to abstract over DOM APIs for different reasons, but at their semantic core they are fine.
