The JS target is also very interesting to me. I like erlang fine and elixir's nascent type system is promising. But the frontend (and js fullstack for that matter) currently does not have a good alternative to typescript, and the ML type system is an especially good fit for it. Elm has too much reputational baggage and rescript/reason/bucklescript/whatever squandered its momentum and is floundering.

Very much so!

I've created Vleam[0] to convert an existing vue webapp[1] and so far it's a joy.
