Man I need to do a sudo apt upgrade on my brain: I read the title and thought he was talking about ELM the email client, and was like: yeah, we all stopped using that in the early 90's when zmail showed up.

Every single Elm language thread there exists at least a person makes joke of ELM email client. And then somewhere there exists Elm developers make fun of those people.
i'm new here and learning that HN is more serious than /. or reddit. probably because people here refrain from posting obvious / useless comments like mine. getting the hang of it...

I'm also new :) and didn't intent to discount any comment (it's not useless)
I agree that HN is quite serious, that's why I rarely comment. I'm actually a fun person lol
Lies. Elm users switched to mutt.
I used elm until late-90s when Y2K looked likely to end it. What I've learned since quitting elm is that mutt was better at processing large mailfiles, and then Apple Mail is easier to automate with AppleScript.
This "Elm" is some sort of JS precompiler, claiming a better program's name? Join the post-ES6 scrapheap with CoffeeScript, TypeScript, and every other joke precompiler. Write JavaScript in JavaScript, and if it's not sufficient, file bugs on ES6/7.
Same thing happened to me when slack turned up and I was still using slackware.
