Why Elm is good for us.

1. JavaScript is hard to keep maintainable over time

• When you try to refactor things you rely on the fact that you can ag it effectively.
• Runtime exceptions are hard to find

Elms solves this because:

• It pushes all runtime exceptions to compile time
• When Refactoring it's easy to know if it broke something, it's a compile time error

2. Elm is simpler than JavaScript + all the frameworks

• Elm is a small language, far smaller than JavaScript
• Elm has React and Redux built in. There's no question on which framework to use or any temptation to stray from the right path
• You have to be a lot less disciplined to keep your code working.

3. Elm has better tooling than JavaScript

4. Compile time is shorter

Compiling all the JavaScript code takes forever, Elm is a lot faster which would aid in developer productivity.

4. It's a lot less setup

• There's no standard way to set up a React project. It's hard to wire everything together

5. Added benefits

The time traveling debugger even works with side-effecting things. This makes QAing a lot nicer.
