I'm a ruby developer by day and, to me, OCaml-like languages like Elm and F# are better rubies. The language remains as concise and crisp as ruby, the algebraic data types help me more precisely formulate the logic for the app, and the static types remove a whole class of errors and makes refactoring much easier.

As an aside, I have a theory that Elm is a gateway drug to Haskell. Next stop, purescript?
