One thing I have noticed over the years is that the front end community is becoming more and more a "let me google how to do it" kind of community. The tooling ecosystem is so burdensome. Just to get a hello world app with React, Redux, Webpack, esLint, and ES6 takes forever. Sure there are starter boiler plates but they all don't seem to do quite what you need. Before it felt more like a solidly engineered app, now it feels a lot more like glueing various snippets from StackOverflow together.

I'm also finding the overhead from React / Redux very noisy. I have to do so much typing and define the same thing over and over across a bunch of different files just to do something simple.

I really like how Elm basically implements all of this with much cleaner syntax and works out of the box. It's too bad it doesn't have as much community behind it. I'd like to use it more but find it doesn't have enough community for me to consider using it for anything outside of home projects.
