TL;DR Neither this blog post, the Elm website or Elm's example sites have a good example of something laid out well with Elm (all break horribly badly when resized.) Also, If people actually learned CSS, they would have a much easier time. Firstly, I find it hilarious that when I opened this blog post dissing CSS the author's 'responsive' design was completely and utterly fucked. I opened the page at 50% width and 100% height on a laptop, and I was confronted with a bunch of unrelated text taking up literally the entire fold. By resizing my browser I found out that the hideous thing taking up my entire browser window was what would be the sidebar if I expanded my browser further. I then go to the Elm website and am presented with a site that's not responsive at all, and I take a look at some "example sites" built with Elm and I get this[0] site, which breaks in a ridiculous fashion when resized. Hell, if you're designing a layout language and you can't even point to one example where it works I'll really start to question it. Secondly, I think that the vast majority of 'problems' people have with CSS would be solved if people just learnt it as they would a programming language. All the time I hear "CSS is so frustrating!" from people that write code in other languages just fine but don't know CSS. Well, just learn it! Most people don't care about learning CSS, and only copy-and-paste from Stack Overflow. You wouldn't copy-and-paste every single line of code from Stack Overflow for your C++ application, so why do you do it with CSS? I actually took the time to learn CSS a while ago, and it's been much easier to write it since. I have only had one problem in the past few years with CSS specifically: vertical centering and browser inconsistencies. I'd say having only two major problems for a language that's been designed around browser politics is excellent. [0] http://library.elm-lang.org/ http://library.elm-lang.org/
