You’ll hear this talk at Elm Europe in June 2017. Massive thanks to @chrisui, @stealthpig, @zsoobhan, @spryle, @dumbNickname and everyone else who helped shape this proposal. You guys are awesome!
Choosing the right technologies when starting a project is super important. It’s almost impossible to change the stack later on. Betting on Elm is therefore a bit risky. Right?

The Old Gods were ignored. In the folly of a young age grew an abundance of packages and with them grew the scourge of dependency. In the depths beneath the earth, in a place beyond memory, the great demon stirred.
