I don't know about anyone else, but I had some trouble with Elm. It's hard to reason in the type system (in comparison to Haskell), and I even had trouble just getting a drop-down list and radio buttons in a cross-platform way. The application structure is also very confusing to me, it's not quite MVC but it also doesn't let me just put stuff in one file. On the other hand, the workflow was good (even if it takes some time to compile + assets etc.), but I don't know if I'd use Elm again instead of trying TypeScript.

- z5h 7y agoI think you mean stable. I’ve been more productive and happy in Elm than with any other language in the past 20 years.
