From the cons the author listed for typescript, this article is way too generous with this language. Like CoffeeScript it is just an intermediate solution to the problems JS has. We are still far away from inventing a good language for UI logic development. IMO Elm is pointing in the right direction, Scala.JS is getting some interesting traction and momentum.

Personally I'm not a huge fan of mixing language with UI architecture - it seems like it would slow down development on both fronts. Replacement costs are also much higher.

That aside, we'll talk about how we built our architecture in our next blog post! I promise you that I thoroughly pored over the Elm architecture tutorial[1] before designing any building blocks.
