Elm is on the right road but basic front end concerns are still not officially addressed. So yeah, a reasonably advanced front-end developer could integrate Elm into their projects by using the familiar technologies (HTML+CSS+JS) and adding bits of solid implementations with Elm BUT, starting in Elm and staying in Elm is still so far into the future that I would not dare venture a guess as to when will that be available. It will happen tho, it is unavoidable. I was recently watching a talk about CSS4 Grid layout and realize that, at least in theory, that functionality could be implemented in Elm and made to work in a large percentage of the browsers way faster than it would take for the official technology to be adopted. Same with web components. :) Elm could be the ultimate polyfill. :) I would like to end by saying that you are not alone in perceiving Elm as being more far along than it actually is. There was this poll <https://twitter.com/luke_dot_js/status/777328702820671488> that shows that Elm users are way to optimistic about how far Elm has come. I think we are still in the innovation phase, well bellow the 2.5% mark. If someone has hard data that shows otherwise, I would love to be proven wrong. -- There is NO FATE, we are the creators. blog: http://damoc.ro/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
