Discussion open on incorporating Elm or not:

Pros

As opposed to JavaScript, Elm is a proper programming language
Also proper functional language
The error messages and time travel make it easy to debug

Cons

An extra layer of complexity
An extra language to learn for beginners wanting to contribute to the repo
An extra language to learn for designers

I don't think we should incorporate the new shiny technology just because it's shiny, but because it will solve a problem for us.
