What is the general mindset that a Stable user has, what is important to you and what isn't?

Since Stabel compiles to wasm, it can and will eventually be run in the browser (the playground at the Stabel website works by compiling code to wasm locally and executing it). I'm kinda hoping that Stabel will fill the same niche as Elm, but also be able to run outside the browser so you can use the same benefits for other things than just making SPAs. If you are a little aquinted with Elm, you can read this article about how Elm inspired Stabel: https://fossils.stabel-lang.org/compiler/wiki?name=How+Elm+inspired+Play&p https://fossils.stabel-lang.org/compiler/wiki?name=How+Elm+i...
