   I'm a professional web developer, I'd like to think I know what I'm doing. And I believe you contradicted yourself, leveraging a Virtual DOM to update the DOM (which has an imperative API) from the changes that exist in two s

   I take a small break (15 mins) and then either find the motivation to continue onto another big task or work on polishing the "small things" that always pile up. While the break does it for me, the important part is that you rewar

   What you want is all available in Qt via QtQuick, where you can use QML to define you interface declaratively (in a better way than html+css) and JS for logic with the option of dropping down to C++ or another language with bindings.

    Nope, that's not it either, since you can use Elm the language without importing Elm.Html ("Elm the framework"). It's simply that Elm the framework was designed without regard for the problems of other languages, and mak

    It doesn't work like that in the case of Elm. You can implement the Elm architecture with React, Redux and Redux-saga, but that's just a poor imitation of the API. The point of Elm is not just the architecture, it's the lan

    The Elm experience simply cannot work on JavaScript. It demands a pure, strongly typed functional language that guides developers from any background into the right direction.
