> maybe Elm getting started just a year or two earlier, would have allowed the project to hit some critical mass to change the future. It's an intriguing thought exercise, but even with a head start it would have had serious issues like it has today; the pace of the language is _SO SLOW_ that in today's world it just has a hard time due to that. I'm not asserting that it SHOULDN'T be slow, that the reasons for doing it that way are bad, or anything like that; it just is what it is, and that's a downside for many people.
