I really like the idea of Elm; but I also really like the idea of using the same language for both the frontend and the backend, so I can share code, and I currently can't do that in Elm.
But I could do in with Fable, using F# on Mono on the server. The idea of using something as big as Mono doesn't really fill me with joy, but F# is supposed to be a thoroughly decent functional language (I've never used it myself). Except... Elm comes with all this value-added functionality that's ideal for web development. Unless Fable has something equivalent, I lose out on half the benefit.

Anyone?
