Can't us ML language enthusiasts just all get along? We're all aware of how vastly superior ML languages are for domain modeling and language readability :).
Them's fighting words. I think Elm and F# have the most readable syntax of the ML languages I've encountered thus far.
The person you're responding to has it out for Elm. I recognize their username from an Elm thread where they spent their afternoon hating on it with punchlines like "it's designed for stupid people" and "nobody can take Elm seriously."
