#22I'm curious if you know about the language I created - Mint (https://www.mint-lang.com)?
And if you do what is your impression? I created it because I was frustrated with Elm (more the community than the language itself although the language has some issues as well).

#23Are mere users still not allowed to interface with JS from Elm? I lost all interest when that came down.
We have a large Elm app and do the occasional bit of JS interop when required, it's not a problem at all.
The 0.19 change simply limited the ability to publish packages containing interop to the official Elm package repository. You can still host your own packages etc.

If you need your IO to be synchronous, then Elm is not for you.
Asynchronous IO through ports works just fine.

#25How does Elm compare to ReasonReact?
Oooh that's a very hard question :p I'd need to sit down a bit to answer it, to be honest it could almost be its own article. They both try to accomplish the same things through very different means with very different backings (Facebook versus literally one person). I can already tell you that ReasonML definitely has my preference these days over Elm, for the simple fact that I can keep using React with it. I love R…

in the article, you mentioned:

It seems like your're judging the entirety of the compiler just on it's user displayed error messages?

#26I love Elm, but this tutorial is based on Elm 0.18, and 0.19 is out. There are some straighforwared but significant changes with how an application is set up.
If you're just starting out, find a 0.19 tutorial.

#27For anyone new trying to get into Elm (as a language/tool), I would look elsewhere. ReasonML, PureScript, TypeScipt, etc are all better featured solutions. Having said that, the article is well written and thorough for anyone wanting to take a look into Elm. But there are massive problems with Elm itself which make it impossible to consider seriously. I have and still do use Elm in production, and went through the ni…
Elm has solved big problems with us, and for everything that can run in the "pure Elm" side of things, we have very few problems.

Please don't spread lies about Elm. It's OK if it's too hard for you, or not your cup of tea.
But it's straightforward to interface JS from Elm. It's right in the tutorial under ports.

T.b.h. this is the reason why I will probably stay messing around with either PureScript or ReasonML but stay away from Elm.

#30Been working with Elm quite a lot. Every other web framework I've stumpled upon in my career appear like utter crap compared to this beauty.
