I absolutely love Elm, and think it's great because it's a totally new approach for the frontend. That said, new approaches take much longer to build the critical mass for adoption than incremental ones (like Typescript). In a lot of ways, Elm reminds me of this Onion article from the early 2000's.

There's a project on my plate right now that when I saw the requirements and specs, I immediately thought, wow, Elm in a year from now would be absolutely perfect for this.

But it's just not there yet, so I'm exploring things like Typescript that have the advantage of the Javascript ecosystem beneath it. But I really cannot wait for Elm to be production-ready across the board and not just for specific use cases.
