*And all this stuff about immutability, can be easily achieved in plain javaScript. Eventually is Elm code will be converted to plain javaScript and not vice versa, so that's mean you can do all that stuff in javaScript but for sure there are some features in javaScript which you can't do in Elm. And using Elm you are limited with one pattern. And what if it's not enough or it's not best solution in some case, what than? For example right now I'm working on new CMS for one of my projects, on React/GraphQL/Nodejs and hybrid storage MongoDb with mySQL. I would like to use this pattern in some cases but I just can't use it everywhere, so that's mean I shouldn't use Elm?*
This is true, there are some things you can do in JavaScript that you can't do in Elm, but this is the key point, that is a good thing! By definition anything you can do in elm you can do in Javascript. But the benefits of elm is that it will not let you do things that are likely to cause problems. I have been a web developer for 20+ years now and I can say that if someone can find a way to do something stupid in development then they will! Good coding in raw javascript requires a large amount of developer discipline, you must be careful all the time. Languages like elm take that job from the human and put it in the computer! ᐧ On Wed, Oct 5, 2016 at 10:27 PM, Duane Johnson <duane.john...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Wed, Oct 5, 2016 at 11:43 AM, Sarkis Arutiunian <sarkis....@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> For example right now I'm working on new CMS for one of my projects, on >> React/GraphQL/Nodejs and hybrid storage MongoDb with mySQL.
