Elm is Wrong - Hackdot

Actually, that's the thing: Elm is designed for people who don't know Haskell. It's designed for JavaScript developers who are attracted by the "no runtime exceptions" claim.

If you're coming from Haskell, you'll see Elm as a dumbed down, stripped version of Haskell, which will trigger in you the feelings it triggered in the OP.

Thanks. The chances we'll hear the perspective from a javascript dev with no haskell exp are slim though.
