Have you had bad experience with hiring for Elm?

As written in different comment my Elm hiring experience was stellar, but now I wonder if it might be because we're fully remote team (not, say, Czech company hiring only Czechs from a radius of 30km around one city. I can imagine how that would limit the talent pool.)

I've hired several Elm engineers for my company. Fact is, none of them knew Elm to begin with.

In my many years of experience, learning a new language or framework or API is simply part of the job description. What matters is critical thinking, software *engineering* experience, aptitude, attitude, a willingness to continue learning, and a desire to help others learn.

Every one of my engineers picked up Elm quickly and has come to enjoy using it. There is literally a world of (future) Elm engineers out there to hire.
