Elm started as a FRP language and ended up giving up FRP[1] for ease of use.

If ease of use is targeted, signals might not be the best approach. I distinctly remember things becoming easier when they went away.

That was one of the most interesting developments in the already fascinating saga of Elm. Czaplicki gets a lot of flak, but it's almost all about how he keeps tight control of his language & ecosystem. No one duns him for brains, because he's clearly very smart. So when he says, "everything related to signals has been replaced with something simpler and nicer", it's news, eh?

Thanks for the link.
