Experience report after writing 26 000 lines of Elm.
That's really awesome. I really like Elm. (I use Angular 1.5 and CoffeeScript all day.) One of the things that's kept me from really trying to use it though was the breaking changes 0.17 upgrade. It made me feel like it's not production ready yet. So I kinda put it on the side burner.

I would really like to know what a 1.0 Elm looks like.

sidenote - I love that you guys are using Elm-Phoenix-GraphQL.

The term production ready is an interesting one, I can understand the concern if you had to migrate your whole Angular app. No offence but your prone to miss something and its probably gonna be super painful to do a 0.18 type change. But in Elm since you have the compiler its a pretty mechanical process :). Wrap back around to elm now with 0.17 its much simpler :) tnx for reading !
