Why does elm need to exist? If I want the "ground up type system", I'd go for haskell, something more user friendly or UI oriented then F# with fable. A functional language just for UI is too niche, waste of brain space.

Well, you can't easily use Haskell on web, at least not yet. But there's Purescript, which comes with both anonymous records and Haskell2010-ish type system with some extensions and may be an interesting choice.

Because value / cost is lower, it's much simpler, yet powerful. However, it's unfortunate that its social cost is higher.
