I've been working on a project, now at http://www.knode.io for quite some time. It went from Rails to an Elixir back end with an Angular 1 frontend, then a brief experiment with an Angular 2 frontend, and finally to an Elm frontend. It is a complex project with JS interop using ports to render (a) mathematical text and (b) Asciidoc. Plus, there is a Latex-to-Html parser-differ-renderer package that I wrote entirely in Elm (2K of code).

I couldn't be happier with Elm in this project. Many major refactors: instead of the usual white-knuckle experience with prior languages/frameworks, it was, like, zen.
