I've always thought that Elm was an excellent programming language! Strong type safety, helpful compiler messages, good community, great tools! What more could you ask for in a programming language?

In 32 lines or less of code I was able to write a crappy little app with horrible styling that communicated with Github's REST API to check how many followers a user has. It's not impressive by any stretch of the imagination, but the power you have with relatively little code is awesome!

Ah cool! I definitely think it depends on the project and which data structures you need for it!
