Man, it's 2023 and Elm is still the best thing to use for one-man SPA apps. Unfortunately, the author is right and it's Elm-or-nothing most of the time, no real coexistence of Elm components with TS/JS ones. That adds to the state of Elm being essentially abandoned by its creator.

I'll keep using Elm for now for my one-man UIs, the language doesn't feel old but rather "done". I'm still productive as hell with it, TypeScript will never match. But I'll also never recommend building their startup with it and won't force it to anyone anymore.
