I think programmers who haven't been exposed to a language like F# or other OCaml/ML languages should take time to broaden their horizons. It'll make them a better programmer by exposing them to new concepts and new ways of t

Them's fighting words. I think Elm and F# have the most readable syntax of the ML languages I've encountered thus far.

Can't us ML language enthusiasts just all get along? We're all aware of how vastly superior ML languages are for domain modeling and language readability :).

> - The language doesn't have component composition (like in React or Vue) and you end up having huge chunks of spaghetti code (but to be fair, it kind of works because of the compiler). Um... yea it does. Elm makes functional compo
