On: Gov.uk drops jQuery from their front end

AFAIK Elm can not be considered "a better JavaScript" because it not only is fundamentally different, it also is not fully self-sufficient - in many cases you have to resort to JavaScript pieces while engineering an Elm app.

Same C programmers sometimes use assembly. The abstraction is leaky.

I agree it's not a clean superset like TS is, but for the app I wrote I did not have to use any JS except in instantiating the app (3 lines iirc).
