This is how I feel. I understand the performance boosts in the final products but the process of building and typing out all of the [ ][ ] in code just cripples me. I really love the idea of functional programming, it just seems to run circles around OOP, but the syntax is absolutely awful and as a person who specializes in CSS this is the greatest downfall. My experience with CSS in elm has not been good. I wish there was a lot more info and tutorials about it. If it had the same type of hype and following as Vue (which just feels good) I think more would be done with it.

I do have to say though that a truly remarkable project is Dscova.com I really wish these guys would put more information out in actual code so we could learn how to build things as good as this.
