I was an early enthusiast of Elm. Sadly, Elm was never able to build a true core development team outside of Evan. Or at lest it didn’t do it fast enough. Evan is a smart programmer but not a strategic organizer or a communicator. As a result, one of the most exciting and promising approaches to front end development was relegated to a nice-toy project status. If you want to take the risk of building something using Elm’s approach, you’ll do it with Reason. Maybe not 100% as nice as Elm, but you’ll feel confident you’re not risking your code base and company on the whims of one person. I still think Elm is a nice educational language for getting people (and kids) into FP.
