My personal outcome on this is that I am afraid to touch React after some time or some number of other devs were working on the codebase, while with Elm I’m not afraid to take over a large codebase that was written by someone else. This is very anecdotally and is my personal taste, but I totally stand by it and am having one of these experience right now.
- mejutoco 5y agoThis has been my exact experience. After not touching a project I can come back to it pretty much immediately. Also code location (files, one module per file) stops being so important, because the type system just catches everything. Once I learned how to use the occasional escape hatch, with ports, I could mix the random quick hack with the very solid system of elm.
