I recently started learning Elm. Elm is statically typed functional language which compiles to JavaScript.

The most compelling feature is the guarantee of no runtime exception. It language is pretty stable with glacial release cycle. It also has a ui library called elm-ui which allows to develop ui components without css.

There are lot of posts criticizing Elm of slow release cycle and that the community does not take feedback properly. But atleast for my use-case it does not matter.

I like that the language is very opinionated and just works.

Few plusses for Elm: - Static language - Informative compilation language - Awesome tooling. You just nees to install Elm compiler. No npm required. - < 1s compilation - The Elm Arcitecture(TEA) for ui event handling - Beginner friendly community
