I'm just starting with Elm, I'm as newbie as someone can be. I'm reading some examples of how to use the hop router on github, most of the things I've have found use a lot of *exposing (..)* so I find myself wasting time just searching the declarations of the symbols I encounter. I think that's the only thing that I have found that makes Elm program a little harder to read.
Maybe you can do like python does, in python you can import everything into your namespace with *from module import ** but that's something that's kind of frown upon the community and official style guide.
