> Okay, so now make a serious iOS app in Objective-C in "a few hours". As in, have one by this time tomorrow. See? It's crazy. That's not how it works.

But then making an iOS app requires picking up frameworks/libraries, not only learning Objective C, which was exactly GP's point:

From the article:

"Unfortunately, Elm isn’t a library. It’s a language, which just happens to have a great library"

I don't know why we're arguing about this. It's another blog poster writing about something new they tried for one particular project, and in this case literally "why it's wrong". (After two weeks.) It's hard to take seriously.
