> I wouldn’t use Elm as a solo founder, as you want to put your energy into shipping and Elm, while very good will probably slow you down when you hit the thing it cannot do This was me a couple of years ago and I even gave it a fairly serious shot. It felt like the ecosystem buy-in was huge, and once I ran into something like a missing CSS rule it was a mess. And iirc all of that code would have been basically useless for portability in case I needed to switch. Fortunately my tingly senses told me to stay away, and now I really feel like a dodged a bullet. The main thing I consistently dislike with JS/TS is that there aren’t any easy ways to work with immutable data. I’m not the kind of person who needs full-on paradigm, I don’t mind getting dirty with an imperfect language, I just want the error-prone and common use cases to be decently supported.
