Yea, exactly. I have written a complete functional game in Elm, with multiplayer over websockets, push notifications and whatnot. It has daily users to this day. I never needed "native" code. Maybe some decisions were wrong, as I said. Elm is not popular today. But they are also right in some aspect: I don't need another TypeScript (but with weird syntax).
