That is really not the point being made. The point is rather "the language helps me keep focused on what I do, because many subtleties in other languages don't exist, and those have me overthinking things". Whether what you do is REAL work or a friday night game jam is irrelevant.
Also I wouldn't say that Elm lacks ergonomics or powerful expression features. It does lack browser API features, but I don't believe that's what the author enjoys.
