> Elm is the future as much as Java is dead in the software development industry.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like what you've done here is just take one narrow interpretation of Nekorosu's comment and used that as the basis for a dismissive reply that offered no value.

--- Dateline 1995:

Nekorosu: "Java is the future"

Cuttooth: "Java is the future as much as C is dead in the software development industry" ---

It's a big industry, cut. There's room for everybody.




The point was that JavaScript is king and this "Elm is the future" suggests that it'll be a major player. Right now it's a niche toy language. There's room for plenty of those, sure, but it takes years of work and development for a language to become worth its salt. Java had its fair share of issues for a while, and arguably still does.
