I really like the look of Elm --- to me it seems to hit the sweet spot of being enough like Haskell to be awesome while also being understandable by humans. It also fixes some of the rougher edges of the Haskell syntax; I vastly prefer Elm's record syntax to Haskell's, for example, which apart from being much cleaner and obvious also avoids some of the more common Haskell namespace traps.
The one piece I'm really looking for is server-side Elm, though. I've love the ability to write both my client and my server in Elm. I know there are some projects to allow Elm via node.js but they're still quite rough.
(Is anyone looking into transpiling Elm to Standard ML, so that it can be compiled to fast native code with MLton? Because that'd be, like, really cool.)
