Elm seemingly dropped Signals due to the limitations of First Order (Discrete) FRP. I'm loving Elm, but if you're truly interested in FRP, you might explore Higher-Order FRP, using Cycle.JS <https://cycle.js.org/> using TypeScript, which can give you some of the Compile Time Guarantees of Elm. Check out Staltz's really cool Matrix Multiplication Example <https://github.com/staltz/matrixmultiplication.xyz>. Both Elm & Cycle.JS are really cool excellent Technologies.
