The Elm package library is such a breath of fresh air! I'm glad I moved over.

I love Elm. I'm brand new to it but can't get enough.

The compiler is so friendly. It feels like Evan Czaplicki is talking to me directly. :)

I love Elm before but now it is even better! I'll make the switch even though I was almost done with my first app with it.

I've been using Elm happily for 3 years. Thanks for posting this.

Well done! I'm hoping to try Elm out soon as well.

With Elm you don't have to import 80 things and active 10 language extension to get anything done. :p

Who isn't a fan of Elm? This language keeps impressing me.

Are you kidding? Pick me, pick me.

Elm is by far the best experience that I've had with any language.

Elm has literally changed the way I think about programming. Can't wait to see what the future will bring.

I was super impressed with elm. Great docs, amazing error messages, good examples.

I've enjoyed using Elm for client side development.

I'm working on a few Elm sideprojects and am having a blast. The IDE integration (elm-format, type checking hints) is a miracle. the `style-elements` library is an absolutely wonderful DSL for writing predictable/flexible/fluid/decoupled layout code. And the file sizes with 0.19 are miniscule (my app previously minified down to 100kb, but now it is about 20kb)

That code is so -erm- pretty. And by popular accounts, Elm is a pleasure to develop with. I hope it catches on.

Takeaway: use Elm.

What makes Elm appealing to me is that is allows me to completely avoid the whole JavaScript ecosystem. There’s no dealing with npm, webpack and all the rest of that confusing mess.

I felt like throwing together a quick frontend for a project at work. Downloaded Elm even though it hasn't been touched in years. Everything just worked.

bphogan | karma 2970 | avg karma 4.2 · | 2016-01-21 17:39:59+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm currently annoying myself by learning Elm. :)

Congratulations! I don't use Elm in production (yet), but have been following it's evolution for the past few years, built a few small side projects with it, and have gotten the chance to attend both Elm conferences. What a great community and great piece of technology.

Elm is a fun language to work with.

I got very positively surprised by Elm when trying it over last weeks. I mean for building web app GUIs.
