Sorry, I didn't mean to say that nobody has negative experiences with it, but that "X considered harmful" style posts tend to get more attention on sites than positive experiences generally do.

What was something that left you unsatisfied with Elm? The biggest one for me until relatively recently was handling state updating state from leaf components, it was fairly cumbersome to have `(Model, Cmd, ExternalMsg)` in lots of places. At work we recently switched to the Effect pattern (https://sporto.github.io/elm-patterns/architecture/effects.h...) which has alleviated a lot of the overhead.

FWIW the creator of the Effect pattern has some pretty deep reservations about Elm (http://reasonableapproximation.net/2019/10/20/the-effect-pat...). His reservations end up being the same ones that get hashed out all the time over HN (JS interop and the development model).
