Typescript vs Elm? Fight!

(I.e. what are the relative strengths and weaknesses of these two "modern languages targeting JS" offerings?)



I think you meant Purescript vs Elm. disclaimer: I have used neither.

Elm has its own package manager, not sure if that is good or bad!

The biggest difference is that Elm is almost incidentally a similar strongly typed functional programming language and its biggest focus has always been on FRP (functional reactive programming) to simplify UI programming in the browser.


Yes, I meant Purescript.
