In my memory, Evan said that Elm can *potentially* be faster than JS. This means some future where Elm is wide enough spread and wasm wide enough adopted to have the resources and the context for an efficient compiler that bypasses JS. This is years away so... what are we discussing here? Personally, I believe in the mantra of "Make It Work, Make It Right, Make It Fast". Elm's speed is not a show stopper for the vast majority of Elm developers. Sure, it might prevent some potential users from taking Elm seriously for certain tasks but... what is better? catering for the needs of a very small set of potential users or catering for the needs of the vast majority of actual Elm users? My point is that I love the practicality of Elm with its simple yet > functional syntax and would like never to be forced to use JavaScript or > even Typescript again, but am forced to do so for certain types of > applications due to these inefficiencies. Or you can look at it from the other way: for certain types of applications you can *already* use a practical, simple language (Elm). :) -- 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.
