Can't see this happen.

Elm is awesome, but it's also rather different and self contained. Many (JS) devs sadly just don't like FP.

Yeah, I understand your point FP to me is great but I just started programming and didn't like learning OOP with JS. So it was easy for me to switch paradigms or practices a little. Everyone has there preferences though.

Ironically, FP-ness is general and transfers even to OO languages. E.g. JS's Array.map, reduce, filter, lambdas, etc.
