CoffeeScript and Elm address two vastly different problems. CoffeeScript addressed "Writing JS is a pain in the ass": it was syntactic sugar and the need for it drastically lessened with ES6. CS was killed by the new JS extensions.
Elm addresses run time errors and JS Fatigue, neither of which JS can address organically. In fact, the more JS evolves, the more its syntax is extended, the worse JS Fatigue becomes. IMHO, Elm will fade only when there will be another language that simplifies the whole build pipeline and is more appealing to newbies. At the last Melbourne Meetup we had twice as many RSVPs as the Clojure meetup and three times as many as the Haskell one. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
