Integrating Elm and Phoenix Channels via Elm-Phoenix-socket
How come no one (seemingly) uses Elm, despite all the love? I've noticed a lot of quick, drive-by posts in Elm related threads about how great the language is. This thread ("This is a great little webstack!") and today's other front-page elm thread[1] both do this.<p>With such high praise, I would expect the language to be more popular. What's with the disconnect? My hypotheses:<p>1) There are no unhappy users because unhappy users just don't use it.
2) HN goes easy on technological curiosities, saving harsh criticism for large projects that deserve it
3) While there may be a widespread lovefest for Elm, there is too much momentum behind current technologies.<p>Any other thoughts as to what the disconnect is? Moreover, how do we get to a world where the webstack we all use is "a great little webstack"?<p>[0] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11846707" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11846707</a><p>edit: clarity
