Good reply. My view of Haskell is if I had to do it 40 hours a week in a team for 50 weeks, I'd get use to it and would see the benefits and get itchy using any language without them. I'd have wiser colleagues to help me learn and I'd see the patterns in an existing code base.

But as a hobby FP'er looking from the 'outside' Elm is more suited to me. So the point is my Haskell vs Elm preference is somewhat circumstantial.

It's like the home DIY person preferring to order a kitchen from IKEA and install it, instead of making their own cabinetry.
