a) Many things that are runtime exceptions or silent errors in other languages, are compile errors in Elm.
b) Immutability, strong type system and few language constructs make local reasoning very easy. Developers spend less time chasing bugs.
c) Easy to learn. In virtual all jobs that I've had as a frontend developer, there's always been something new to learn. I spent more time learning Ember than I did spend on learning Elm.
d) Less churn. Javascript and related frameworks are, to me at least, exhausting to stay up to date on. Elm changes at a much slower pace.
