The Elm web programming language / framework / ecosystem.
What I like:
Pure functional programming - easy to reason about what any piece of code is doing. Works like Lego.
Complete statements. No null reference exceptions. Actually no exceptions at all. Everything is checked at compile time.
Excellent compiler errors. The most helpful I've seen.
Culture of beginner friendliness. So packages have good documentation. Getting started is "elm init". Works well on Windows too. Even had an MSI installer, as well as an npm one.
Seems to produce performing code.
The Elm Architecture which is like React but much better because you don't have to think about immutability. You cannot mutate a reference to begin with. Mutation means new reference in Elm.
