Yeah, I had mentally tagged Elm as "interesting language that future browser languages/frameworks might claim as an inspiration".

But, I thought the same about Coffeescript. And then Rails gave it massive traction. I wonder if the same might happen to Elm, should Phoenix adopt it as their browser language of choice. That might also offset concerns about Elm's fledgling status and key man risk.

There's definitely a connection there -- for what it's worth, the keynote at 2016's Erlang Factory conference was a shared talk between Chris McCord (creator of Phoenix) and Evan Czaplicki (creator of Elm), "Making the Web Functional" [0]
