On the other hand, Haskell's strength is its abstraction power. Elm intentionally lacks (some of) that punch, as do a lot of other languages.

But since Elm is a DSL it can afford to cap the abstraction somewhere whereas Haskell is perhaps built for more complex problems than just a client facing web UI.

Having learned both, I feel the abstraction level is capped too low on Elm, sadly.
