Using Elm in production for years. Still waiting for the bus :-)

We use Kotlin

Interesting question. I feel that I don't lose nothing with this feature, but maybe someone else may have a deeper insight

Even though Rakuten is a Japanese company and all this happened in Japan, the department where it happened is almost entirely not Japanese, so the "elevator sales pitch" has nothing to do with Japan. There were already several developers that were on board with Functional Programming, this is what helped a lot.

As a matter of Japan, there is a very lively Elm community and I know few companies that use Elm in production.

Also, I heard that the Japanese academic world is active in Functional Programming research

What happened that made you hit the wall?

We are using Elm in production for almost a year and I never had a situation where a bug was blocking us. Do you have any example?
