Elm only runs in the browser and is only really made for front end development. However just replacing most of your JavaScript is still very useful to me. I feel that it's restrictions are mostly caused by it's purity. It can't actually do any side effects so it has to have many pure logic functions that the runtime calls. All language creators decide how your code should work.
At it's current state it can't save you 100% from JavaScript but it can do about 95% (for the typical web app). If I can say that 95% of my code is beautiful and runtime error free I feel like that's a pretty awesome deal.
PureScript could be a good option if you already know Haskell. You do miss out on the enforced SemVer and perhaps more developed libraries but those are probably just a matter of time. It might be a better fit for you.

What I mean is that Elm is too limiting. You are forced to TEA, which is a lot of boilerplate and you cannot try your own ideas
