Agree on all points. It's delightful to compile your app and... it just works. No nulls.
I still use it for personal projects where 8 can but Elm is showing its age. Newer JavaScript APIs are not well supported and ports, while I understand why they exist, can be painful to use.
But I'd still recommend it. Way more fun than any other fronted framework library I've used and the functional nature was a fun challenge for me.
I still use Elm for personal projects as well. It’s nice to come back to an old project and become immediately productive not just because of the type system but because all Elm apps work the same.
Coming back to an old React app is usually a pain because everything changes between projects, even the state management architecture.
