Elm looks really interesting but one thing I haven't been able to figure out from their website is if there is much support for basic CRUD applications. I know they have basic HTML input controls and web service support but that doesn't much compare to modern javascript frameworks. Is Elm more targetted more at game developers?

I'm going to focus on creating more CRUD examples now that 0.9 is out.

In the same way that JavaScript needs frameworks to have a nice high-level way to create CRUD, Elm needs libraries and frameworks too. I have been focusing on language-level details, so Elm does not have those frameworks yet. It takes time, and I'm working on it! :)

Yes that totally makes sense. Really I just wanted to know if this is something you wanted Elm to provide good support for so thanks for your response here.
