I don&#x27;t know if my case is representative, but as a backend dev I&#x27;m still on the fence with javascript and at the same time eagerly wanting to step in the frontend realm, because, well Internet. And it seems that elm finally got the right combination of reliability (functional, immutable....) and friendliness (nice syntax, good docs...) for me to cross the rubicon.<p>Add to the mixture charismatic personalities like R. Feldman and E. Czaplisky and this could be the answer.
