I agree and I think the ideas in Elm are applicable in many other contexts. Adopting a new language is just hard, especially with larger teams. I ended up taking some of the ideas of Elm but implementing with Rust and TS - https://dave.tonge.org/articles/make-ts-boring/
The basic idea - all application state and view model creation is in Rust (compiled to Wasm). I'm using Rust not really for performance, but for its strong type system. Components are in TS but have a strict contract they can only accept plain input props and output events. Rust processes the events and ships a view model patch to TS.
This is not "Elm in Rust/TS" but it is definitely Elm inspired.

Very nice, really clean and well commented codebase. I love what you've done with the deferred and accumulator wrappers. Thanks for releasing this!

Thanks, any feedback is welcome.
I was hoping for more push back against https://bun.com/blog/bun-in-rust - which is pretty thorough and has some decent arguments and reasoning for why they did the rewrite.
