Elm and React in production
summary
Company uses Elm and React side-by-side in production, starting small and expanding; results include 50,000 lines of Elm after ~1.5 years and zero runtime exceptions from Elm code, an Elm assignment form that replaces a previously fragile React implementation, easy embedding of Elm inside React or adding JS to Elm, a compiler that catches errors and speeds onboarding, and measurable wins in refactoring, hiring, and long‑term maintenance.
