I’m finally taking Ramin Honary’​s advice and looking into the Elm programming language.

Elm is a pure typed functional language which is focused on web development and cross-compiles to JavaScript. I’d been hearing the name mentioned in many contexts so I thought I’d better start finding out about it.

The Redux state management framework for example which is used with React and is now gaining popularity among Angular2 developers took its inspiration from Elm.
