True, I know about cycle.js, I played with it before I discovered Elm 
actually. But I would really like to have a language dedicated to this new 
technology :), that's why I am searching for solutions within Elm. Don't 
think there are any tho', not yet at least, except for building modules 
from scratch as we discussed above :). Cycle.js is really nice, but the 
language makes a huge difference. And I might be stupid, but typescript I 
never got working so there's that...
