Being Disciplined with Elm
The Javascript community is in the middle of a shift from the old imperative/MVC paradigms to more functional and more reactive paradigms. ReactJS, Flux/Redux, RxJS, TypeScript, ImmutableJS - all of these and others aim to help bring FRP to front-end development in some way. But they all rely on discipline. They rely on developers avoiding Javascript's flexibility to cut corners and break the prescribed patterns.
Elm is the answer to this problem. Elm brings FRP to the browser and takes discipline out of the picture so that developers can leverage the full benefits of Functional Reactive Programming.
